Re: UARS Advice

I haven't really noticed any difference between EPR 3 and EPR 0 but I've kept it at EPR 3 because why not and I've heard it helps some people. There's no particular reason that I have it at a fixed pressure as opposed to a variable one, I thought it'd make it easier for me to find the right pressure...

Re: UARS Advice

Here it is for yesterdays data. http://i.imgur.com/zDlLEJK.png For the second set of data we have http://i.imgur.com/2PVjFtj.png I currently have EPR set at 3 but I honestly can't tell the difference between EPR 0 or 3 at this point I just have it at three because I've read that UARS people often re...

Re: UARS Advice

Dude, I agree with Granny. Don't obsess over any aspect of sleep. You are worrying about things without cause and worry will ruin sleep. The first thing you need to do is understand and practice good sleep hygiene. I'm sure Granny will post her summary list of do's and don'ts. But Google it anyway....

Re: UARS Advice

Here's yesterdays results, AHI of 2.72 and woke up every 3 hours or so and quickly fell back to sleep. I don't know if this is relevant but I've had a string of higher AHI days(1.8 +) after a string of < 1 AHI days at the same exact pressure, mostly because of increasing centrals. The only differenc...

Re: UARS Advice

I had a very similar story with UARS: low AHI, high RDI, honeymoon with APAP, then a "divorce" from it, looking for solutions, including sleep dentist, one count of attempted surgery (changed my mind), but finally found a solution with VPAP and remain "married" to it happily ever every since. UARS ...

Re: UARS Advice

I suggest you look up a sleep dentist for another opinion. I plan to do that myself later this year. What do you expect a sleep dentist could do? All a sleep dentist does to treat is to make a custom oral appliance. CPAP is far superior for UARS (and sleep apnea) as compared to custom oral applianc...

Re: UARS Advice

No problem, at all thanks a bunch for the resources. I have had braces in the past to correct a mild overbite and I've spent a lot of time on Dr Parks site. Unfortunately, I haven't been able to yet find any specifics on actually approaching treatment once CPAP has appeared to not be working. I can ...

UARS Advice

Hey guys, I'm a tall lanky 22 year old male with suspected UARS. About a year ago, I started getting extremely sleepy throughout the day no matter how much I slept. It'd get so bad that as an intern at the time, I'd sneak off to the bathroom to take naps 20 minute naps which themselves didn't seem t...
