Re: Nuvigil and Provigil NOT working What next??

Sorry I havent posted on this in a while but I wanted to post an update. About 3 months ago my doctor prescribed me Well utrin XL to see if that would help. Unfortunately it has not helped, so after some more discussions he gave me a prescription for adderal XR 30 mg to start with. After taking it f...

Re: Nuvigil and Provigil NOT working What next??

I agree in my journey through all this I feel that hypersomnia is a catch all diagnosis. My CPAP numbers are great, according to my doctor sleep apnea is not the cause of my EDS. My AHI still continues to be under 0.5. I have gotten my thyroid checked, I have lost 60 lbs, every possible test includi...

Re: CPAP NOT working...Need Advice on Nuvigil

All thanks for the great info and advice. I know some folks mentioned blood work and getting my thyroid checked. I have had all of that done and everything came back normal. I have also lost 54 lbs over the last year hoping that would help, but none has helped with the daytime sleepiness. My doctor ...

CPAP NOT working...Need Advice on Nuvigil

I have been on CPAP (S9 Escape) now for a year and half and it has not helped. I still feel very tired during the day and I am now on my third doctor. Three weeks ago my new doctor loaned me an S9 APAP machine to try for one month with a range of 7 - 17. Currently my CPAP (S9 Escape) pressure was se...

Quattro FX question

For all you Quattro FX users, I have a Quattro FX FFM that I am looking to switch back to. I had nose bridge itching issues with this face mask. Has anyone else using a Quattro FX experienced the same thing? If so did it resolve itself?

Re: suggestions?

If your DME is going to give you a RESMED machine be sure they give you the S9 Elite. I made the mistake of not doing my research on CPAP Machines and ended up with the S9 Escape which only records usage data. The S9 Elite will record all data and you will be able to gage if your therapy is working....

Re: FFM Help

I have not tried any of the mask liners. I have gone online and cheked and it does appear that they have a bridge nose protector for my F&P Mask. I may order one and try it out. Hopefully that will work better than the gel pad that my DME brought me.

FFM Help

I recently just switch from the RESMED Quattro(MED) to the Fisher & Paykel FlexiFit 432(MED). I switched from the Quattro because the mask kept leaking and I was losing therapy. The issue I am now having with the F&P mask is that I am getting a sore at the bridge of my nose. My DME agent brought me ...

Can someone please help me with the RESCAN software. I have it installed and my computer and I am trying to get info off my machine, but the only info I seem to get is usage info. I see no info about leaks or anything else. I am doing something wrong with the software?

Re: CPAP Pro pillows with mouthpiece - has anyone used?

I am currently using the RESMED Swift FX nasal pillow mask and love it. My problem is I am breathing out of my mouth and losing all my therapy. Tonight I will try the RESMED Liberty which is a hybrid mask, combiantion between the nasal pillow and mouth piece.
