Re: can't use machine all night

I am so glad I found this article. My Dr just switched me to this med and now I am coughing at night and during the day. I take my med's in the am so it is still affecting me in the night. Thanks for the information.

Re: Jerking while sleeping new symptom

not riding a bike at night more like swinging the arms at times and just jerking the legs around. Maybe I am trying to dance the night away

Re: Jerking while sleeping new symptom

He gave it to me to help stop the jerking. On the full dose it does and I only get up 1x a night. 1/2 dose I am up 6x or more a night. He said it is used to treat seizures that are mild. He said it is off labeling.

Jerking while sleeping new symptom

This site has been a lot of help so far. I have not been able to find this so maybe you all can help. I started on CPAP in June of this year so around 2 1/2 months. I had my follow up visit with the Dr. and told him about my jerking while asleep. My husband has complained about it. This is something...

Re: Waking at 3 PM, taking clonazepam

For the moment my machine is mine and they said they only sell the Escape Auto (which is what I have) or the Elite. I think either way the work.

Re: Escape Auto and sleepyhead

Very proud of myself. I went in looking again. When you go into the clinical mode if you push the info button it shows the sleep quality screen and there it is. It only shows in that mode but I can now at least see if I have any episodes at all for that sleep period. Last night it only showed 2. I w...

Re: Feeling Anxious

I wasn't to sure about the full face mask either. I LOVE MINE. It's has made such a difference in the way I feel. The nasal masks had me feeling like I was unable to breath. Even changes to the EPR didn't help till I changed mask's. I get stuffy too and this has helped me a lot. You should have a ma...

Re: Escape Auto and sleepyhead

By the way I can see my pressure when I push the button but not the AHI. I wish I had found this site before I bought my machine but what's done is done. I think I only have OSA so this really shouldn't be a problem knowing the other kind. I do know that I am down to a 1.7 AHI the last 2 weeks. I th...

I saw that a week or so ago and tried to change the setting. I don't show a sleep quality change on my machine. Any Ideas?

Re: Waking at 3 PM, taking clonazepam

Sorry Marchwinds didn't see the 2nd page with your comment. I think you are correct. I have been really stressed with the new changes and major changes in my life along with job stress. I think not sleeping might have something to do with it. When I was sent for my study I told them under no circums...

Re: Waking at 3 PM, taking clonazepam

Nick Danger you are correct. I am only prescribed 1mg and this is to help with my movements at night. (husband said I am jerking a lot since starting the cpap). I only took 1/2 of the pill the last 2 nights and am back to jerking and not sleeping lot's of waking up moments that I remember. I tend to...

Re: Escape Auto and sleepyhead

Thanks all. Sorry it took so long to get back to the post. It does show my AHI because I am able to get this from the dme. The insurance wanted to much since I didn't have any of the deductible paid yet so I bought a used machine from the dme. I know that there are better 1 out there but this one wa...

Escape Auto and sleepyhead

Will sleepyhead work with my Escape Auto S9? If so do I need anything to read the SD card with my laptop?
