I, too have been through this and I agree with John, it's silly. And torturous. They call it "re-proving". Medicare guidelines they say. Sleep tech told me that a way to avoid this is to never let 5 years go by without a sleep study. Like every 2 - 3 years I need to come in for a "re-titration". Not...

I had been on CPAP for years when it got bad for me again and decided to see a sleep specialist. I am on Medicare, and he told me that unfortunately that since it had been over 5 years since my last study, he was going to have to order a "split night study" where I would actually be required to "re-...

How does this look to you guys? Better than night #1 for sure. Hi, Yes, the 2nd set of graphs look better. You might want to run that way for a few days, and see how you adapt. It does take a little while for your body to adjust to new settings. What I did see is that your exhale pressure is 8, but...

This is a good explanation that shows the differace in PS between the 2 machines. It was written by jnk. Re: ResMed VPAP Auto 25 Clinician's manual.... Thanks for this squid13. Excellent description. My PR S1 MaxPS setting of 8 means IPAP and EPAP have a lot of range on the dance floor and can danc...

Pugsy, do you have any thoughts about the PS? Do you think it should be lower? I love these posts about Bipaps because I'm experimenting with the S9VpapAuto for the last 2 weeks. I really love this machine and will probably give my personal report on it in a new thread. Yes, I can now actually see ...

Best of luck, hope you get your machine soon. I know what it's like to have a big share of physical challenges and to have them stack up on you. Sleep is such an important part of physical and psychological well being. Taking action steps always makes me feel like I'm getting something done about th...

Thanks pugsy for straightening that out. It makes sense why vikinggnome would have thought that it was "leaking like a sieve" (love that expression) if she is referencing the Resmed standard/method. So it is different for the PR S1 Bipap Auto. You can see how my leak number did increase to 46 avg fr...

Wow, I can relate to your state of mind absurdlytired. I am a new person here, but I have that cumulative fatigue and fogginess where it just zombies you and the frustration and anxiety and depression gets the best of you. I also see the effects it has on my wife and kids. They have been understandi...

Hi, Welcome to the BiPAP club! It looks like you are max'ing out on the upper pressure. Perhaps you might consider bumping it up a bit. Since your AHI was low, you are probably pretty close to the right upper number. Sometimes just 1 centimeter of pressure more can knock out the snores. Snores don'...

I've been reading this forum extensively, and advocated for bipap auto, and doc agreed and wrote my script for "Bipap Auto, 11-16/8-11 cmH20". ... issued a PR S1 Bipap Auto Biflex (DS-750) ... she looked at the doc's script and said, "He wrote it wrong". Didn't know exactly what she meant. She inpu...

This looks very encouraging; and it was your first night on bipap? For me, it took several months for significant mental improvements to manifest. This is not unusual. After so many years of sub-optimal treatment, I hate to tell you to be patient, but what little I can understand of your data, I ex...

Greetings this is my first post. It's a novel, I know, I just need to get all this out. I found this board about a month ago when I reached a desperate point due to cumulative sleep loss. I've been on a CPAP "brick" for 16 years, started out on 8cmH20, then a few years later the doc bumped it to 10 ...
