Re: OT: Juicing, blood sugar and losing weight

I just want to add that my husband went through a period of juicing. He loved it, felt great. He lost some weight and the doctor was happy about that. Then she checked his blood (we moved and new doctors routine is full workup). She called us at home, which is big, because that surgery doesn't ever ...

2 months in, update

Hi folks, Sorry I haven't posted in a while. I've been haunting these boards while I try and figure this stuff out. We're also in the middle of buying a house so it's been busy. You might remember I was having trouble with a DME who had given me an F&P brick and basically left me to get on with it. ...

The device itself says icon novo. The manual says icon +. The AHI number I'm getting is from the on screen menu. It does vary but what it doesn't tell me (even in the manual) is if that number is from the session before or from an average overall. Either way, from what I've read around different cpa...

Re: Newbie: adjustment issues or problems to be addressed?

So far I have tried opus 360 nasal pillow (which I liked the idea of but it didn't work in practice for me) and I currently am using the flexifit 406 nasal mask. It seems to be working better so far (last night was the first night ive managed to sleep more than 3 hours with it on but it is rather ti...

Re: Newbie: adjustment issues or problems to be addressed?

I'm sorry - icon novo. I remembered nano for some reason. The pressure is set to 9 but my tech was a little slow on the uptake so it is possible I need a higher pressure. One of my issues with the opus was that I felt like I wasn't getting any air. I don't use the ramp unless its during the day watc...
