Re: Trying to reset cpap back to autopap...may need instructions
We really need the data. Your descriptions leave us wondering what mode it is really in and what the settings really are. If you post the graphs, we can see exactly what the settings are and what the machine is doing. It would eliminate the confusion. I don't understand why you keep asking for help...

Re: Trying to reset cpap back to autopap...may need instructions
I am lost here. I don't know if you are doing straight cpap mode at 14 with or apap mode or cpap at 7 cm. Or how long the ramp is and from what to where. You talk about changing pressures being a problem and then you want to have the machine reduce the pressure for times when not as much pressure i...

Re: Trying to reset cpap back to autopap...may need instructions
What about exercise? Your husband is in his early 40s and he's having all these problems? Low testosterone and whatnot? Is he overweight? I would try two things -- 1.) both of you join a healthclub and start exercising together regularly. That may help on many levels. 2.) talk to a psychologist, to...

Re: OSA and can't use cpap, now no libido or desire for life
I have never heard of a ResMed S9 Auto 360 ...maybe AutoSet?? The only cpap item that I know with 360 in the name is the Opus 360 nasal pillow. Let's proceed on that assumption for how. AutoSet and not Escape Auto. Here's a link for the provider/clinical manual for the S9 Elite/AutoSet. It's a comb...

Re: OSA and can't use cpap, now no libido or desire for life
Can someone (ideally someone who has seen an Escape) post explicit directions for her on how to do that? I've got my hands full today. To get into the clinical menu of the Escape or Escape Auto...it's the same way as any of the S9 machines. The instructions are in the clinical manual that I sent a ...

Re: OSA and can't use cpap, now no libido or desire for life
Dreamstalker, if you're having trouble tolerating an pap machine due to what sounds like improper settings that cause severe nasal congestion, it isn't an issue of wanting to live. As one who feels that unresolved nasal congestion has been a big factor in my intolerance to pap therapy to date, it i...

Re: OSA and can't use cpap, now no libido or desire for life
Seeking Answers, as I mentioned in my response to Dream Stalker, it is very easy to get overwhelmed cognitively when dealing with untreated apnea. Your suggestion of a gluten free diet to your husband is a good but personally, I would focus on one issue at at time which is hopefully to adjust the s...

Re: OSA and can't use cpap, now no libido or desire for life
He has a Resmed S9 auto 360. Does it say "AutoSet" right above the Start/Stop button like in the below photo, or does it say Escape Auto like in the second photo? http://i1148.photobucket.com/albums/o577/kaiasgram/s9closeup_zps46cc2b57.jpg http://i1148.photobucket.com/albums/o577/kaiasgram/escapeau...

Re: OSA and can't use cpap, now no libido or desire for life
If they have a Resmed, regardless of which one, she can get into the clinician's menu the same way, right? If she has the Escape, does that show AHI, or not? Honestly, I don't think it matters a hoot what his AHI is at this point. In my opinion, they need to get in the Clinician's menu, raise that ...

Re: OSA and can't use cpap, now no libido or desire for life
I hope this is how I can type a post to all who have posted and asked questions about the machine my husband is trying to use and all see it as I was trying to answer each individual post...there are too many to do that. He has a Resmed S9 auto 360. As far as the settings, all we know is what he was...

Re: OSA and can't use cpap, now no libido or desire for life
seekinganswers, do you have any more information about the actual machine that is in use? I wish I did...Here is what it looks like if you can open this link. I know it stays at 4 unless he stops breathing, then it ramps up to 12 to push through and get him breathing again, then it goes back to 4. ...

Re: OSA and can't use cpap, now no libido or desire for life
Also, symptoms and feeling like crap creep up on you over the years. It is easy to assume that it is part of getting older That is so true, for 8 months I really thought that being 50 just sucked . If I would have only addressed the issue 10 years ago when I first thought I had apnea....... +1 Exce...
