I failed to respond to Dreamon earlier. Yes, my PLMS is being treated - clonazepam 2mg. before bed time. It works for the body and for helping the brain to shut down for the night as well (insomina runs in the family). I believe that much of this medicine with sleep disorders, mood disorders, etc. i...

I have clinical depression and manage it fairly well most of the year with a good doctor. However, after living in Iowa for 5 years, I had SAD on top of the regular stuff. I am back in North TX but it has been excruciatingly gray here over the Fall and Winter and it has had an affect on me. I can sa...

Has anyone here used Apollo blulight therapy machines? If so, has it had any affect on your ability to get to sleep? stay asleep? I got one on e-bay for multiple reasons and have been using it for a week. It's supposed to help with energy levels during the day but I can't tell much difference yet. I...

also I just remembered that my REMstar plus has C-flex. What is that? Does that have any bearing on the stuff the machine can monitor and what does c-flex do?

well, I've had it for the 13 month rent-to-own agreement my insurance company made with the provider so it's mine. So how can I tell if the pressure is sufficient? I wasn't having actual apneas. Mine is for a high RAI due to very shallow breathing when I sleep. I also have PLMS (aka RLS) and insomni...

Are you sure it just monitors hours and sessions? I can read that on the led display of the actual machine, but I pulled the card out and it says encore pro smart card on it. It has a little gold thingy on it which I'm sure is the memory. Why would you need a card if it's only doing the same thing t...

Thanks Wulfman, you saved me the trouble of sending the card to the medical equipment people for a report to send to my doctor. I guess they weren't paying attention to what kind of a machine and card I had when we were talking on the phone because they acted as though the card could generate some r...

It's a Respironics REMstar plus M series. It has a heated humidifier chamber that is detachable and a smart card in the back. I would love to know if there is a way to discern for myself if I need adjustment to the pressure as doctors and insurance companies have a wonderfully profitable price-fixin...

I have a resmed m series with smart card. Is there a way that I can read the info myself and see if the pressure setting I have is sufficient? And if it needs to be adjusted, how do I do that? I don't mean the beginning pressure for ramping purposes. I mean the peak pressure that you receive most of...
