Re: Sleepyhead on Linux

That should be fairly simple process

So you downloaded the packages, tried to install them with a command like "sudo dpkg -i package_file" right? Something didn't work? what exactly?

Re: ResMed Adapt SV for sale

Ah I missed some activity in my thread It is a data capable machine, but it does not have an SD card slot - instead there is a serial port or something. My doctor was able to pull usage and AHI data from it, although I don't have proper cable and could only see AHI/usage data on LCD screen, but not ...

Re: How is UARS Diagnosed?

I want to learn more about UARS and will read your article. You health well, and take care of yourself. And perhaps you can enlighten me on an ASV? Adapt Servo Ventilation? Is this a machine? Yes, ASV is an adaptive servo ventilation machine. It is designed to treat central apneas by constantly mon...

Re: How is UARS Diagnosed?

Good afternoon.How would UARS be tested? And wouldn't the control of the sleep apnea (which I think I have mastered) help the UARS as well? Thank you very much. Let me try to answer "How UARS is diagnosed" part of the question, partially sharing my 4 years experience dealing with it. I think I have...

ResMed Adapt SV for sale

Older model, looks like the one on the picture. A little under 6000 run hours, works well. I bought it used after failing on CPAP and Bilevel - being unable to convince several doctors that ASV could help me. It worked, and finally I was able to get a new ASV through the insurance, so don't need thi...

Re: CPAP numbers are good, still brain fog..

Pugsy, thank you for your support There are no meds to blame, gabapentin is the only one I take, and recent lab test came up just fine. A little low on VitD but nothing really concerning. I guess many people are shocked or frustrated hearing about their OSA diagnosis; I was actually super happy. Aft...

CPAP numbers are good, still brain fog..

Here are my SleepyHead graphs from the last night. Are they as good as they get? Can't really complain about the therapy itself, comfortable with the mask and compliant for the last two years. However, the only thing it really helped was daytime sleepiness. Also no more old apnea symptoms like night...

Re: CPAP in the long run?

I think I got the right equipment now.

Is there any data from the machine that can give useful insight if AHI is zero? (large leaks are also at 0%)

My sleep doc glanced at the data once and lost interest to it, saying "I think your therapy works fine now".
I wish my brain could tell me the same..

Hi Todzo,

Re: CPAP in the long run?

I am reading them right now, thank you. I probably should have been more specific though. Wondering if there are many of those for whom cognitive abilities took years to recover, and if there was anything additional to CPAP to aid in such recovery. I read several threads where people were telling th...

CPAP in the long run?

Hi All, Share your stories of long term CPAP treatment, those who has been on CPAP for a while (years), compliant, both success and failures, what worked and what did not My story is not very optimistic yet. 40 yo male, diagnosed 2 years ago, with mild sleep apnea (AHI between 5 and 17 in different ...
