Tired Again
I've been using my BiPAP for about 1 year now. After seeing my sleep study results, which showed an AI/AHI of 93, I accepted the inevitable and have used the machine every night. At first, I noticed an improvement in my daytime wakefulness. Before using the BiPAP, if I allowed myself to do so, I cou...

Re: Sleep Sound Machines
I have the box fan in the room and it's great in the summer, but it makes the room a bit too cold at this time of the year.

I don't have the software so can't analyze the leak rate. I scheduled an appointment because it seemed to me that the doctor should do something to check that the initial settings he selected are correct. I never had a "titration" as I couldn't tolerate the cpap machine when they tried it during my ...

Re: First follow up visit
I have registered on the site and included the equipment information as requested. To clarify, the DME made one visit since the machine was prescribed, but she knew less about how it worked than I did and was merely making a visit to drop off new filters and hoses, and to give me another mask to try...
