Mask recomendation - (soon to be Former)Mirage Micro user

Hey Guys, I have exhausted my supply of mirage micro supplies. I finally found a DME that works with my insurance to get new supplies (been slowly using what I've had for a while). They told me the Mirage Micro is discontinued and I can't get supplies for it. (headgear & cushions, etc) I know I can ...

VPAP ASV --> Aircurve 10 ASV upgrade complete

Hey, i picked up my Aircurve 10 ASV yesterday. After using the Vpap ASV for 5 years, this was quite an upgrade. The first thing that struck me when i picked it up was its size and weight. Traveling with my old machine was basically carrying a mid size carry on suitcase. The new machine, everything f...

Thanks to Y'all, I was able to tweak my V-Pap ASV so my AHI now averages 2, on my sleep test, it was 146. Thank-you for you initial support, without y'all I would have given up. Now on...

Re: Plane travel questions!

If your. Machine gets screened by hand ask the TSA Agent nicely to use fresh gloves. As I have traveled I find the big airports (atlanta, vegas, NY) will let it go through, no problems, you don't need to take it out. Mid size or smaller (Houston, st lewis, Denver)will be an ordeal. I always call the...

Re: Doc Says I'm In Serious Trouble (Long Post) - Need Advice

Bazzy, Welcome to the Forum!!! My story is a little different, as I was having Central Apneas, but my AHI was 140 (140 times per hour times a 6 hours sleep study is 840) So I know how scary those big numbers are. My O2 sats did not get as low as yours, but this all came to my attention after I spent...

I've lost about 10 lbs, and my BP is down, but I've slept in the last 5 days! All of a sudden my mast is leaking and waking me up blowing in my eyes, or making no...

Re: Central Apeneas Dominant

Just a quick note of experience from someone with Complex Sleep Apnea, My AHI during my diagnostic study was 117, with 0 Obstructive, 50 Hypopneas and 67 centrals an hour. I did a titration on a bi-pap and my AHI was only down to the 60's, again, 0 obstructive. I then did an ASV titration and now ha...
