when you say try a cheap one first do you mean just a standard mouth guard available from a sport shop like a boxer would wear or can you be more specific? I'm not sure how useful that would be because my subjective experience of Hi Dougal, The purpose of trying a mouthguard first would be to get a...

It's common in medita...

Thought I would just share my great news about curing lifelong severe insomnia I have had it all my life (41 years old), typically taking me between 1 to 3 hours to get to sleep. I've just gotten used to it and have tried numerous things including 1. relaxation tapes 2. relaxation apps on iphone - i...

the same ENT Dr saw a friend of mine 5 years ago and sent him for a similar oral appliance and he is very happy with it and not using CPAP
- he says he's feeling much better since using the appliance although I don't think he's ever had a formal sleep study

I'm fairly sure the ENT Dr was not scamming me because he gets nothing out of it if I go to a different person (i.e. the orthodontist) for the device and he did say that its up to me, just explaining the options. I'm just toying with the idea of getting one so i can have an occasional break from the...

when you say try a cheap one first do you mean just a standard mouth guard available from a sport shop like a boxer would wear or can you be more specific?

Hi all I saw an ENT specialist today to identify any treatable anatomical cause for my severe obstructive sleep apnoa (untreated AHI = 42). He did a nasal endoscopy and said surgery wouldn't help as there were no major anatomical issues but found that my airway opened moderately when i protruded my ...

I just ordered a fully maxed out 27inch Imac http://arstechnica.com/apple/2012/11/fully-loaded-new-27-imac-will-cost-over-4200-before-tax/ my justification is that it was taking too long for me to boot up Windows via Parallels in order to upload my CMS50F oximetry data for transfer into Sleepyhead o...

as per my original post the pilairo was making my nose sore and bloody - i stopped and used a full face mask for a few days then returned to the pilairo but the bleeding/soreness recurred. Despite this i loved the pilairos so i returned the loaner and bought one of the internet (from China at a thir...

i thought the series 60 patch was only available for windows - is that incorrect?

I can't get my Zeo data to show up in Sleepyhead on the Mac - has anyone done this ? I have downloaded my Zeo data as a csv file from the myzeo web site, then imported it into Sleepyhead - a message appears saying that the zeo data has been imported but I cannot find it on any of the Sleepyhead grap...

i live in sydney and don't need to put any water in my humidifier as it never uses any due to the ambient humidity in the city
- the water level in my humidifier has remained exactly the same since i last filled it 2 weeks ago (with filtered water from the fridge)

just bought 3 replacement Pilairo cushions for $74.85 + $35.65 international shipping to Australia (total $110.50) for about the same price I would have paid for 1 cushion in Australia from https://www.cpap.com

thanks for the replies and tips on repiars
- I'm just thinking ahead, nothing wrong with my mask yet but would like a few replacement cushions on standby

what a massive cost differential between us and oz, $25 vs $90 !

wheres the cheapest place to buy replacement cushions for the F&P pilairo nasal pillows mask?

they cost AUD $90 + posting in Australia - seems a bit steep to me so I'm guessing it would be cheaper to buy online from the US?
