Great news.

My Doc changed my prescription to... "BiPAP preferred, CPAP OK"


I just had to ask my Doc to change the RX.

Re: Help with poor sleep, hypopneas and centrals

My other thought is to bring the pressure back up to 11 and then turn EPR on to 1. My sleep clinic is suggesting a Max pressure of 12, and even 14 with EPR turned on. another tip: when making a change in your settings (and i'm glad you know how to do that) make ONE change at a time and stick with f...

Re: Help with poor sleep, hypopneas and centrals

If I were to summarize the last 8 months of CPAP treatment I would describe it as absolute hell. welcome to the zoo! sorry your having a hard time. dunno if it's comforting to you or not, but the majority of us had trouble at the beginning so we're here to help. mostly what we need is data from you...

Not sure why you didn't see it. Are you in the US?
i didn't see it. it just gives a link to find a distributer and that just leads you nowhere.
