Re: For Sale: ResMed S8 AutoSet Device

Hello, I am interesting in buying this machine, but I have a few questions. I'm planning on using it without the humidifier as a travel machine, so I would need a standard cord with no power brick. Is that what this comes with? Also could you tell me the model name and when it was manufactured? A gr...

looking for a New Yorker who understands Sleepyhead

I have put Sleepyhead on my computer but I only understand the most basic data --AHI's, leak rate, etc. I would like to find someone who could sit with me for an hour somewhere in downtown Manhattan and explain what it all means. If you are that person I will be happy to pay for your time.

UARS: Questions, contradictions, conflicting advice

I never wanted to be my own doctor. As a newly diagnosed apnea/UARS patient, ideally I would be in the care of a conscientious and well-informed sleep physician, a meticulous sleep lab and an attentive and knowledgeable DME. Since none of the above apply, this leaves me trying figure things out on m...

Drs Park and Gold and best pressures for UARS

I’m feeling confused by conflicting information. I have consulted Dr. Park and Gold, both of whom believe in UARS (I have apneas but more RERAs) and they seem to have different philosophies about how to treat. Dr. Park indicated (and I also read on this board) that UARS may require higher pressures ...

high leak rate / quattro // res med auto9

I'm very frustrated. Recently my res med auto mask fit icon shows smiley faces both at night and in the morning, indicating there are no serious leaks. But the leak rate shows up as over 30 and I wake up feeling crummy -- even though my ahi is supposedly low. I've been using a full-face Quattro mask...

NY sleep labs and sleep docs question

I have had an overnight sleep study at an NYC lab and have some apneas but many more RERAs. I didn't do a titration night but tried ResMed autopap with a full-face mask for a month. I tolerated it but don't feel much better, so I think probably I should be titrated at a lab to get the correct machin...

orthodontic upper palate expansion -- has anyone tried DNA?

I'm curious to know if anyone has experience with this. Most medical people claim that it absolutely won't work with adults because their palates are fused and can't be expanded. It hasn't been studies for outcomes and and some of the claims on various websites sound somewhat crackers. On the other ...

Best autopap for RERAS, UARS

I had a sleep study done at Sleep Medicine Associates and was diagnosed with sleep apnea. However my study showed many more RERAs than apneas or hypopneas: AHI of 10 and RERA of 24. I also fit the description of the classic UARS patient: low blood pressure, cold hands and feet, not overweight, femal...

Re: Res Med shuts itself off in middle of night

Well, I just talked to the tech at ResMed. He said this happens a lot and that it's almost always the result of having the power brick too close to the machine. Stretch them apart and it will be no problem. That's not what their tech told my tech this morning, but I hope it's right. I suggested that...

Res Med shuts itself off in middle of night

I'm new at this and having technical problems. My ResMed auto S9 shuts itself off in the middle of the night for no apparent reason. Last night I had the mask on from midnight to 6 am, when it shut itself off. The data read-out showed that it had only been in use for 1.5 hours. My respiratory tech c...
