Re: OT: EVER HAVE A PINCHED NERVE IN THE NECK AND SEVERE PAIN?
Seven years ago, I had a bulging disc in my neck, causing the same horrible nerve pain. You are right, NOTHING touches that type of pain. Even my chiropractor thought I was going to need surgery...but I avoided it, and it did heal. First: ICE, ICE, ICE (your neck). Ice reduces inflammation. Heat wil...

Re: CLASSIC-pr system one machine
I have the latest model of the PR Sys One APAP...my throat has been parched, so I thought I might like to try the "classic" humidifier setting....went into the clinical menu, see the humidifier and settings, but the "c" is not available. All I have is the 1-5 adjustments. My firmware is 2.0x Do the ...

Re: Where can I download Encore Pro 2?
I have a new Windows 7, 64 bit professional PC...love it, but my Encore viewer will not work on it. I would also appreciate a PM for the Pro version.
Thanks so much!
Thanks so much!

Re: The NEW (2011) PR System One
I have the newest model. Nothing to compare it to, since it is my first, but I love this little machine. Extremely quiet...in fact, the only "noise" is the air blowing out of my mask vent. Received mine from my DME in late January and he told me it was the newest machine they had. No complaints with...

Re: HAS CPAP LOWERED YOUR BLOOD PRESSURE?
In less than 2 months, mine has been lowered. Before, it usually ran around 150/90...have been to dr. 2x in the past few weeks and it was 112/60 and 116/60...I am amazed. Only difference has been APAP at night.

Re: Possible heart Disease from OSA...:(
I am a 52 year old female in pretty good health, but I also have the same unexplained bilateral lower leg/ankle/foot edema. It has gotten progressively worse over the past few years...many tests, no cause found. Finally, my doctor ordered some comprehensive cardiac tests to "rule out" heart issues. ...

Re: 13 Nights on machine-need help understanding report
Very helpful blog entry, Janknitz. Exactly what I was needing. I am feeling more awake during the day since beginning therapy. Having OSA came out-of-the-blue to me, but once diagnosed, so many symptoms suddenly made sense! Feeling VERY fortunate that my issue was found incidental to some other test...

13 Nights on machine-need help understanding report
Last night was my 13th in this journey. Overall, I'm adapting pretty well. My report says I'm 100% compliant, which I like! I have the EncoreViewer 2.0 software. Does this give me enough information? Is the EncorePro better? If so, how do I obtain it? From my report: Avg 90% pressure: 7.3 CA Index: ...

Re: First night!
Thanks everyone! I think I did okay for a first night. Slept pretty well and kept it on until 5:30 a.m. Could be my imagination, but I feel like I can get deeper breaths this morning in my lungs...also do not have that early a.m. headache that I've been blaming on my sinuses for years. Hope this is ...

First night!
Hello everyone. I am brand new to all of this. Got my machine this afternoon, and am sitting here in bed with it hooked up now. I have read through some postings today and have found them extremely helpful. Have a PR Remstar Auto A-flex with the Swift FX nasal mask. So far, so good, but I haven't ac...
