Re: SD card sent to DME

I guess I am not making myself clear. I don't want data on multiple cards. I want to wait till I get my original card back. I was just wondering how long my machine will hold onto the info without the card. Yes I do have other SD cards for cameras. If I were to use that will the machine then load th...

Re: SD card sent to DME

I just wonder if I do use my own card (which I have already) will the machine download the new data to the original card afterwards. I am not sure if I will have to keep sending the card in to the DME. I know I have to prove usage so my ins will cover my machine and any new mask or tube I may need. ...

SD card sent to DME

I have been on CPAP for a month now. I had to send in my SD card to the DME. This is going to drive me nuts not knowing my nightly readings. LOL I have no clue when I will get it back. I was told my machine will hold the data till I get the card back and load it on the card once I do get it back. An...

Re: Nervous

What sucks is that they really can't tell you much of anything. All the data has to be reviewed by the Dr. My guess is they probably did pick up some apnea and you will be on a CPAP. I only had one study and showed severe apnea. I was hooked up to a CPAP within hours of starting the study. It was al...

Follow up with my Dr

I printed out my data from both the SleepyHead and the EncoreBasic programs so he could see my results so far. He was very pleased that I am doing research and I am pro-active with my treatment. He also said my readings so far look great and he was very pleased to hear I am feeling so much better. I...

Re: Sleep study done - "You slept"

I had only one study but it was split. Mine was ordered by my PCP. I know the tech can't give you any info after the study so I never bothered to even ask. I waited 5 days and called the study location and was told the results were faxed to my PCP so I called him. He said I had moderate to severe ap...

Re: Aromatherapy

Thanks for your feedback. I did order the Clear Sinus Blaster and it's on its way. I also ordered a set of pads for my headgear. I am tired of having the marks on my face every morning so I hope they help.

Aromatherapy

I was checking out the CPAP.com site and noticed they have aromatherapy. I was just wondering if anyone has tried them. I am really interested in the Vapor Clear Sinus Blaster.

Re: all about the nose!!

I have also wondered about what I will do when I have a cold. I use a nasal mask so I wonder if it would be a good idea to get a full face mask for those times.

night time bathroom breaks

Do you turn off your machine or just unhook the hose? Not sure what I should be doing as when I unhook the hose I get a large leak warning.

Re: condensation in tube

I am so pleased to say that there was no water in my tube last night! I think my homemade tube cozy worked like a charm!

condensation in tube

I am only 3 nights in with my CPAP but I am having an issue with condensation in the tube. I guess they call it rain out. I am using a humidifier and I need the room to be cool to sleep so I have the AC on. I looked into the cost of a sleeve for the tube but they are rather expensive. I went to WalM...

Re: Newbie here

My CPAP is just below the level of my bed. I am wondering if the AC is an issue. I looked at those hose sleeves and there is no way I can afford the cost. I will have to look into making my own I guess. I am going to turn the humidifier off tonight and see what happens. I am one that needs a cool ro...

I am using a Respironics System One REMstar Auto A-Flex machine. I have only used it for 2 nights so far and my only issue is the condensation in the tube. I have...
