I picked up my Aircurve 10 ST on Thursday along with the Amara View mask. My AHI last night was only 1.48 which is the best it has been in a very very long time. Still trying to get used to the constant change from 20 to 10 with each breath but I'm getting there. I really like the ease of use with t...

One of my sleep doctors is also a lung specialist and the only issue with my lungs is my asthma and it is only illness induced. I live in a very dry area and never empty the humidifier overnight. Most nights it is still half full. Hopefully when I get the new machine next week things will improve. I...

I've been using my full face mask an airfit F10 that I normally use when I am sick in hopes that it would help but nope.

Does the Aircurve work with Sleepyhead? I changed my setting on my current machine to 20/10 until I get the new one. But I am having a huge issue with dry mouth and throat to the point I wake up gasping for air and rip the mask off. I have the humidifier set to max and there is also humidity with th...

Hi Pugsy, Yes I am still in Colorado. May be moving to Idaho or Montana in a couple of years. Thanks for all the info. I will look at the blog. I forgot to mention that I still have to use 3L of oxygen at night. No matter what pressure they used they couldn't get my sats up without it. The doctor do...

Hi everyone, I got the results of my sleep study yesterday.I can't say that I understand it. I am being put on an Aircurve 10 ST with the settings of 20/10 and a backup rate of 12. I have been diagnosed with complex sleep apnea. Here are the results of my study. if you want more info, just ask and I...

Hi everyone, Well I had my sleep study last night. They didn't like the way my mask, eson nasal, fit so they had me try the dreamwear and I really liked it. I Was suppose to have the mslt today but they canceled it as they made significant changes to my therapy. ( wouldn't tell me what). I know that...

Hi everyone, It has been a long time since I was on this forum. I had to reset my password. LOL. Since I was here last I have been changed to BiPAP almost 2 years ago. I just had a sleep study this past April due to excessive daytime sleepiness (EDS) and they increased my pressures to 16/12. I used ...

I have very minimal leaks. According to sleepyhead my average is less than 1. My mask is a wisp.

Hi everyone, I had my nocturnal O2 study last night and got the results today. Spent 47.2% of the night below 90. Longest single stretch below 90 was 26 minutes. So I will be continuing to use 2.5L of oxygen at night. As for the Bipap therapy itself I am still throwing a lot of centrals with the AHI...

So I checked both programs and in encore all the days are there But in sleepyhead there is one night that shows no data despite encore showing data for the same night.

I did put the SD card in the machine but it never wrote the data for that night onto the card. A setting in the machine maybe?

Thank you. I played around with it in all 3 settings and I seemed to like Bi-flex 1 the best. I slept pretty good last night.
Unfortunately I forgot to put the SD card in the machine and now nothing to download to sleepyhead.

I finally got my Bipap on Tuesday. I made sure it had zero machine use hours and visually checked the settings and made sure it was not locked. It was set at 16/11 with ps 2 -5 and biflex of 2 with the first week on room air. The first night was rough. It wanted me to breath faster than I normally d...

You might consider gettig your own pulse oximeter as some of us have. CMS makes several models available for about $100 to $180. This will allow you to monitor your O2 levels every night if you choose. I don't think a 1 or 2 night study is enough, especially if they add supplemental O2. I was unhap...
