Re: Did I fail compliance???

So... let me get this straight... You so NO benefit at all from therapy? None? I

mean... thats what you told your doctor.

However you explain that to us as, as I read it, "I didn't see as much as I wanted". Am I reading that right?

Re: prescription update issue - Just do it yourself! LOL

I'll take your advice and put that one on my list of ones to try. Thanks I had my first night at 22 and 18 and did see some improvement but its WAY too early to tell anything with just one night. I was able to let it somewhat loose and had a reasonable seal. My Sleepyhead data shows more peaks and v...

Re: prescription update issue - Just do it yourself! LOL

...like a I'm not an expert on these issues but it may be wise just to 'suck it up' and do it their way till the compliance period is over. Maybe somebody else can speak to this? Yes... But now its just between me and the doctor. Im eliminating one middle man except for when I need supplies. And le...

Re: prescription update issue - Just do it yourself! LOL

This guy wanted me to complete his customer service survey on day one. Seemed shocked I said I would take it with me. He asked my why I didn't want to do it right then. I told him I wasn't through with him yet. I still have it... and its blank. Mine from Sep is sitting on my desk. Customer service ...

Re: Looking For Tips On How To Interact With The Doctor

Hello Neighbor. I'm in the Pendleton Clemson area... I too had a couple days bout with air in the stomach but relieved it by putting a wedge in to sleep on. This raises my head up a good deal above my stomach and somehow keeps the air from going in, or closes my mouth more or something. Not sure but...

Re: prescription update issue - Just do it yourself! LOL

NO problem. I had no idea to even ask. I just ASSumed it would be blocked from my use. I guess I could have at least wondered if it was possible and done a simple search. Seems obvious NOW... And my provider is a bit on the incompetent side. But then again he wouldn't have told me nor would my Docto...

Re: FYI Respironics software prescription update issue.

Holy Smokes! Works like a charm. I left it where it is now though but I feel empowered... and just felt one testicle swell just a tad.

Thanks folks... this is why I came here!

Re: FYI Respironics software prescription update issue.

So probably this secret trick then? ...Turn the wheel to toggle between the 4 options and highlight "setup". Once setup is highlighted press and hold both the control wheel and ramp button on the device for at least 5 seconds. You will hear a double beep and the provider mode screen will appear... L...

Re: FYI Respironics software prescription update issue.

I've scrolled through every option on the dial and yet cannot find that one. Perhaps they have removed it?
I am in a compliance period for the machine. Ill do some digging and see what your talking about.

Re: FYI Respironics software prescription update issue.

Not sure I understand how packing up the machine and taking it to them is easier than just getting a new SD card? I don't have access to any ability to change the settings on this BiPap myself. Thats not an option.

prescription update issue - Just do it yourself! LOL

Just in case this happens to you and just in case maybe its a new issue with the software let me explain what just happened to me. In case you run into it. I had my prescription tweaked to see if I could help a mask issue. Mine was extremely high staring out at 25cm and 21cm, I'm a brand new user as...

Re: colonoscopy

I had mine done this past year without knowing I had Sleep Apnea.... so all went well except two small polyps that were tiny and not cancerous. I got to go back in 5 years though. I'll cross that bridge when It comes. I cannot imagine using the BiPAP very well during that cleansing period I would ne...
