R2D2

I am pretty new as well but I hate to tell you that a pressure of 4.0 is not very intense. I think that 4.0 is as low as a cpap machine goes. Is it possible that your machine starts at 4.0 and then rise? The gasping is most likely still your apnea and your pressure may not be correct. My pressure is...

I have two boys and I would be heart broken if they had to go through what I am with apnea, I am a special education teacher and just have a soft heart for kids. Hang in there mom sounds like you are on the ball.
Take care

John that is exacty what the RT said, so we are going to look at the data in two weeks. Last night was a good night when I looked at the machine it was only at 12cm and my therapy hours were 7.9 out of 8.1 that I ran the machine. THAT was amazing since I only had 68 threrapy hours from Sept. 6 until...

I have a new PR system One you were right John, I thought that is what I put up but now that I look at the pic that looks nothing like my machine. Changed my pic THAT is my machine. What do you think about the RT setting it to auto?

Just got back from picking up my bipap. The RT has a brain and compassion, she said she was so excited to work with someone that was willing to educate themselves and to take charge of their treatment. My RX was for 22 over 16, she recommended that we set the machine to auto and look at the data tog...

I tried the resmed mask that went over the mouth and had nasal pillows, I need to see what the name of that was. Ok tried the Liberty, I really liked it so bummed the tech said it didn't work, it had to work somewhat I was in REM when she woke me up.

Thanks so much and I also noted that most of you are using a hybrid mask do any of you use any extra special tricks to make it work for you? I posted also on the subject nasal pillows and bipap.

I am also interested in the experience other bipap users have had with them, I really found the hybrid mask I tried my last study comfortable and I thought effective but the tech came in and said that it was leaking...seriously I was in REM could not have been leaking that bad. She was so sure that ...

Thank you so much I have a more defined focus to research now so that I can learn more and be prepared Monday am. Thanks again, Molly

THANK YOU THANK YOU! I really appreciate a seasoned user's advice, I will write those down and look of information about them so I can be ready to go Monday when the Dr. calls. Thanks again!- Molly

I don't know who you are talking about and I have only asked for advice on the board, so I do not understand your comment.

Ok so I put in a search in the archives about bipap machines and had like 8000 posts, I seriously do not have the time or necessary information yet to know what kind of machine to ask for, I am planning on throwing a temper trantrum on the phone Monday so instead of surley responses that direct me t...

Just got back from my third sleep study. We tried so many masks and went back to the quattro but it still leaked. They put me on a bipap this time but becasue the techs are not allowed to discuss my treatment with me, I have very little information. I kept asking her what is my pressure at? she told...

So far I have only met once and talked to three different docs on the phone and a fellow, two different nurses, and I am scheduled for my third sleep study, I just don't know if that is par for the course, I went with Barnes because I feel like they are the best of the best.
