Best advice yet!

Call the DME first.

Because DME employees are so knowledgeable and helpful on technical matters.

It's plain and simple - Julie is a racist. I've seen her demonstrate it before.

I am hoping and praying the roughly year and a half on ASV therapy will eliminate the need.

It's possible the need was eliminated the very first night you used ASV.

In any case, I hope it works out for you to do without supplemental oxygen.

Is SelfRighteous too many characters for the ID field?

Just the opposite... I used to get PVCs (heart "skipping a beat"), which got worse when I drank coffee. Those stopped completely as soon as I started CPAP, so now I can drink all of the coffee. I had that, and like you, it stopped with CPAP. I believe pre-CPAP my body was under such stress the skip...

Uh-oh.

Here we go again.

I have traveled more than 1,000,000 miles via air in my working career and I made the decision to put my CPAP at risk. If it didn't make it I would buy another one. Acceptable risk IMHO. Not for e...

By the authors' own admissions: Study Limitations We did not have a matched control group. It is difficult, however, to find obese middle-aged patien...

I'll say most of us did not understand the symptoms we had were symptoms of sleep apnea.

This is a forum of CPAP users who do their best to take care of their health including sleep.

You'll probably have trouble finding someone here who is sympathetic to your whining.

AHI not so much

Which planet are these doctors on that say it doesn't matter so much how often one stops breathing in their sleep?

It sounds like the flapper on the emergency port is wide open.

Also, I believe someone posted a study here showing the dosages in melatonin supplements varies widely from brand to brand and even lot to lot in the same brand. You never know what you are taking - the dosage rarel...
