If your concerned about not sleeping enough the first four hours to qualify for a split study, ask for an ambian. they offered one to me, and i declined, ended up haveing to return for a second night. the ambian will insure that you sleep enough for a split study.

I got my H1N1 yesterday, other than a mild headace, no other symptoms. I had H1N1 in late october, Dr prescribed Tamiflu. Dr advised i still get the vacine, as the tamilflu probably prevented my immune system from developing full immunity. I think i would rather risk side effects of the shot, vs get...

I could have written your post above! I was on CPAP with a pressure of 10 for almost 8 years. I had lost some weight and the CPAP pressure was blowing my mouth open and waking me. So I went to the sleep doc and we talked about trying an APAP since I hadn't upgraded my machine in 8 years. We got an ...

I saw my Sleep doctor for the first apointment last week, and he changed my therapy back to straight CPAP at 11cm. they had tried a APAP setting of minimum 5cm and max of 15cm for the last 3 weeks to see if it was more comfortable that straight CPAP. I went from sleeping 8 hours per night to a fragm...

The DME only uses the Resmed Autoset II, so the change in machine was only because it was broken ( not recording data, usage, and EPR didn't work either ). Last night I noticed that when i was awake, waiting to fall to sleep, the mask made no noise when exhailing ( thru the vent holes in mask where ...

I had my machine exhanged for a new one last thursday, when i was able to convince the DME that my unit was broken ( different thread ). while i was there, the Dr had faxed over a new order for the settings on my Cpap. previous prescription had been for 11cm Cpap. new prescription was for Apap setti...

Finally got to see my assigned therapist today, appointment was to download data for my upcomming doctors visit. as i suspected there was no data to download. The RT attributed it to a software glitch, she had only seen it once before. they are returning my machine to the manufacture and issued me a...

I had the flu too... didn't know how i was going to us my nasil mask, ended up using lots of nyquil, and did pretty well. i did try sleeping sitting up, and one night, i probably was only able to use cpap for about 5 hours... over it now, lasted about 6 days. still have some congestion, still using ...

I had the flu H1N1 ( suspected, not confirmed ) Monday thru Saturday, had the seasonal flu shot 3 weeks ago. My doctor did prescribe Tamiflu for me on Wednesday, and that seamed to help. It was like some of the seasonal flu's, except it was like having the worst sinus infection, a migraine headache,...

I was in deniel for over 2 years, didn't seek help until i was so tired i could almost not function. was actually thinking about takeing a family medical leave from work. waking up frequently is a nusance, but it will ge...

just went thru this my self, it was explained to me that the number is the lenght of the apena

Finally got into the DME, the air noise wound up being a small fold in the silicon seal of my mask, the results of not getting it put together right after cleaning. the air noise is normal again. I asked the DME RT why it was not logging data, that the mask fit feature was not working anymore. got a...

I also have rescan 3.7, but using vista business. intalled all the latest drivers. sometimes it recognizes the card in the reader and other times not. have tried all of the above, and still can not figure out why it works some times and not all the time.

Thanks for all the replies. I talked to the RT at the DME and they are going to check it tomorrow. I made sure the mask was correctly assembled. and even with no mask or hose connected it reported excelent fitting mask. i have used this feature a few times, to help me get the mask fitted before bed....

last nite i was using the test/mask fit feature, and no matter what i did, even removing the hose from the mask, it reported and excelent fit. i gave up, put on the mask, and when to bed. as the CPAP ramped up to 11(?) there were no leaks, but the air vents in the swivil of the mask was discarging a...
