the Resmed S9 Asv machine - i've got the one with auto Epap and it is by far the best machine i've used - most comfortable and really controls the apnea, pretty much from the first night i used it. The technician at the sleep lab said that he thinks that it would actually save a huge amount of time...

I hope to get my new ASV machine this week, got my sleep study report Friday verifying The need for such a machine after 3 years on APAP.

Best of luck to you!

icipher wrote:That's very great to hear you're having success. Did you have any central apnea before being treated or has it all been pressure induced apnea?

Thanks. I actually had zero centrals until I was put on CPAP. All pressure-induced. Formal diagnosis is "CompSA."

It's been a long journey since we first saw your very first cpap reports...ugly they were. It's unfortunate that it took as long as it did but believe it or not there are people who it takes years before they get it figured out ... Yup. In fact, I had doctors telling me that "Central Sleep Apnea is...

After months of disappointment with CPAP and an AHI of nearly 30.0 (mostly pressure-induced Centrals), I am delighted to report that after a month with my new ASV machine (S9 VPAP Adapt) my average AHI is now .99 It did take a bit of adjustment to the ASV but, boy, was it worth it! And, best of all,...

I just want to let everyone know that I succeeded in finding a worthy candidate for my equipment and shipped it out to them today. I appreciate all who helped keep the post alive. Thank you! I also want thank you for all the kind words. Frankly, I had no interest in receiving praise or recognition; ...

Thanks to a friend and forum member for his generosity, wanted to pay it forward. if anyone out there who has a genuine need and no insurance, and little money, wanted to offer up a system one, straight cpap, non auto. with new hose, new filter, new water chamber, nearly new ff mask [large], carryi...

Yes. Thanks to all who sent me PMs. I wish I had machines to accommodate everyone but, unfortunately, I had just one. It went to someone who I felt was truly in need.

Thanks to all for keeping this post visible. I have received a few PMs so far, which is great. However, I would like to give it a few more days to make sure that all in need have had a chance to reach me. Toward that end, your continued periodic "bumps" will be greatly appreciated.

I received a brand new, top-of-the-line ResMed S9 AutoSet complete with H5i Humidifier, Heated Hose, Carrying Case and F&P Eson Nasal Mask in July. However, since I'm one of a small percentage of CPAP users who develop pressure-induced Central Apnea, the S9 AutoSet is, unfortunately, not the right s...

After 3 months on CPAP with an average AHI of more than 32.00 (almost entirely centrals actually caused by the CPAP) I was finally switched to ASV. Now my AHI is averaging less than 1.5! First time in more than 15 years that I've slept well. ASV definitely takes some getting used to, but it's truly ...

I watched all 5 seasons from start to finish in the span of 1 1/2 weeks. NetFlix? Yes. Netflix has all the episodes from seasons 1-4, and the first 8 episodes from the season 5 (16 episodes in total). The next 4 episodes I had to purchase through Amazon's video service. Then I got the next 3 episod...

I watched all 5 seasons from start to finish in the span of 1 1/2 weeks. An extraordinary experience! I can't imagine how frustrating it would have been to watch one episode per week (with commercials!). If you have the time, you need to see it commercial-free, one episode after another.
