Re: Driving trucks with Sleep Apnea

Wow. Does this mean that a driver with diagnosed apnea with ahi < 20 does not need treatment in order to keep his/her license? I'm not feeling much comfort in the fact that the truck driver beside me on the road might have such a low level of treatment or compliance for SA. Personally, I'd be a bas...

Re: Driving trucks with Sleep Apnea

I'm a truck driver in the U.S. with sleep apnea, and I have no problem with driving. I just have to get a printout from my DME showing compliance with using the machine and show that to the doctor when I get my yearly DOT physical. The machine works no problem in the truck with an inverter. Plus, th...

Re: Good FF Mask for a side sleeper?

One thing that can be just as important for a side sleeper is choosing a special pillow for side sleepers with FFMs. When I started using this one http://www.activeforever.com/p-4834-contour-cpap-multi-mask-sleep-aid-pillow.aspx?utm_source=froogle&utm_medium=csc&utm_content=A16568&utm_campaign=oxyge...

Re: Machine not recording data - please help.

Ok, so I checked the SD card, and there is new data on there for every night since the last time I imported data, it's just not showing on the display. That's not so bad I guess, since I can still get it.

Machine not recording data - please help.

Hey everyone, I downloaded SH, imported all my data from my SD card, and put the card back in the machine. Now the machine isn't recording new data, and always says 0 run time last night and 0.0 AHI. Any ideas?
Thanks!

Re: 3 months and still tired, please help!

Sorry it took so long to get back, I've been really busy at work the last few days. Anyways, I am 32 years old. I will buy a pedometer, but I'm scared to see how low the number will be, lol. Probably double digits. I downloaded ResScan and will try to upload photos from the data to see what you all ...

Re: 3 months and still tired, please help!

Thanks for all the replies, I'll try to give all the requested info here. I do wake up once or twice a night more than half of nights, but not due to lack of oxygen. As far as weight, I've held steady at 255 pounds (BMI 39%) for a year now. High blood pressure managed with one prescription that does...

3 months and still tired, please help!

Hi, I have been using my APAP machine for 3 months now, and I'm still exhausted. It's helping me a lot in some ways. During my sleep study, my AHI was 88.5. When on the machine, my AHI is under 3. I don't wake up gasping anymore, and don't make a trip to the bathroom every night. So I am getting som...
