Re: After a year of CPAP.. still TIRED!
You sound a lot like me. I started having extreme fatigue as well as memory issues about a year ago. The changes have been subtle but I can tell that I'm just not the same as I was before (only 32 yrs old). Since I have started CPAP I've seen a minor improvement in fatigue but nothing to write home ...

Re: Airfit P10 Nasal Pillow issue
Thanks ems. I did move from the small to the medium after the first time this happened but the medium is collapsing as well. The large doesn't fit or I would try that next

Airfit P10 Nasal Pillow issue
Hi. This is my first week using the Resmed Airfit P10 and so far it has been very comfortable. I however have had the same issue on two separate nights where the internal nasal pillows flip inside out and stick to the floor of the nasal pillow compartment while I am sleeping. This results in the ext...

Re: New machine. No titration study. Where to start?
I did have a sleep study in which I was diagnosed with Severe OSA (33.2 AHI). Just haven't been back for the titration study yet to determine the correct pressure for the CPAP. After the titration study I will be getting another machine thru insurance and leaving this one at my girlfriends. That's t...

New machine. No titration study. Where to start?
Hi. I just purchased a brand new in the box Phillips Resporonics DS 560 with humidifier for $300 off craigslist. Think it was a pretty great deal. I have never used xPAP therapy before and my titration study isn't until later this week so as far as pressure and humidification settings where should I...

Re: Sleep Study Results
Did some more research and it turns out that the Sleep specialist I am currently seeing works directly for the sleep lab and interprets all of their results for them. Prescribing an APAP machine would be a conflict of interest for him as he has a financial incentive to send patients to the sleep lab...

Re: Sleep Study Results
Thanks for the advice! I have 4 DME's to choose from just need to get a copy of my prescription once it is written. Not sure who I will need to ask to get a copy because the doctor mentioned he only makes a recommendation to the sleep lab and they write the actual prescription and send it off to a D...

Sleep Study Results
Hi all. New to the forum. I just received the results back from my first sleep study. It shows 34 Obstructive Apneas and 164 Hypopneas for an AHI of 33.3 (Severe). So it looks like I will be on CPAP in a few weeks. Lowest Sp02 recorded was 84% with an Sp02 < 90% of 27.6 minutes. I have already done ...
