Re: Got dianosed with severe obstructive, have questions

Ok, got my reader. I think this is the last question I'll have for a while. What type of report/information do you all like to see posted here from ResScan? It all imported fine, just curious to get input on how it is going. I think otherwise I'm good to go for everything to just give this treatment...

Re: Got dianosed with severe obstructive, have questions

Sorry about that, certainly a newb mistake. I've added the information. I am almost definitely breathing through my mouth. Not trying to obviously, but it is why I got a full mask to begin with. (Significant Other pointed it out for me.). Still having the dryness, so not sure if I just need to live ...

Re: Got dianosed with severe obstructive, have questions

Ok, update time. I got my CPAP Machine. S9 Autoset. Haven't changed any settings really from the clinics so it is in CPAP mode. Pressure is 13. It claims my previously severe 118 AHI went down to 1.1 last night. Somehow. That seems insanely severe to me, but you all would know if that is even possib...

Re: Got dianosed with severe obstructive, have questions

Great advice from everyone, truly. This is so much more than I had hoped to learn, and I feel really equipped for this now. Thanks! New Question: Insurance got back to me. They cover everything past my deductible of $1000, assuming I stay in network in some Durable Medical Equipment brick and mortar...

Re: Got dianosed with severe obstructive, have questions

Glad to know I am in good hands! Pugsy: That blog is simple amazing. Thank you so much for that link. It really spells out how to handle exactly what I was asking. You are a savior! One last quick question before I run off to sleep (11 am. Heh. Told you it's funky.) Is an average of 118 events/hour ...

Re: Got dianosed with severe obstructive, have questions

Right Dreamstalker; Didn't mean to imply I'd be lazy about it. Just looking for a starter boost here. I'll be reading as days/weeks go by to ensure I know what is up. Should be a lot more informed next thread I make! Pugsy - Reading the Blog now, thanks! Will reply once I complete if anything is unc...

Re: Got dianosed with severe obstructive, have questions

Hah, thanks! I most certainly will come back when I need help or have questions. Any specific gear recommendations to begin with, machine wise or otherwise? I don't think anything will be worse than the mask/machine the lab used. Sounded like a car running in the room and I could hear two mask leaks...

Got dianosed with severe obstructive, have questions

Hello everyone, new here. To forums in general really so hopefully I am not going to do or ask anything too stupid. Quick about me. I'm 26, and about 300 pounds. So fairly hefty. I work a night job and have a very very confusing sleep schedule which is basically wherever I can best fit it in. It is ...
