Re: Downloaded Oscar - Data not appearing - Help!

Thanks for responding! "With your profile open - top left of the Oscar window is "File" below that is "Profile" now look to the right of that row for "Statistics" - click on the "Statistics" tab." My Statistics Tab is greyed out. <Sigh I think I'd like to just delete/uninstall totally my latest OSCA...

Downloaded Oscar - Data not appearing - Help!

Hi there! I've been a CPAP user since 2016. I used Sleepyhead, read this forum daily, and with the forum's help....Sleepyhead and my CPAP therapy worked seamlessly and effectively. Thank you all! However, in 2020 when my husband passed away, I admit I slacked off on doing many necessary things. I DI...

Re: Leak and Pressure Categories Missing

Thanks so much, Pugsy. Ever quick and helpful as usual. I made a new profile...still no leak/pressure graphs. Confirmed the event flags were all checked (leak/pressure still AWOL there too). Unplugged again, alternated masks over a few days, changed filter, cleaned everything. Still nope. Only varia...

Leak and Pressure Categories Missing

Looks like my S9 OR Sleepyhead is acting up again? I had that continuous run of 0.00's a while ago, unplugged/replugged machine..worked fine then. But now, I see my PRESSURE and LEAK categories are missing. Chart 1 shows my normal configuration. JULY 18-NORMAL-with categories.JPG Chart 2 shows no Le...

Re: LOTS of 0.00s!

Thanks Julie...and Pugsy for the cyber hug. I unplugged then re-plugged the S9. I assume it worked. The last 3 readings since then have been .31, .15, and .15 (uh-oh) One was a CA and one was a Hypopnea.. NO 0.00's though! What an upside down, inside out, non-normal world I/we occupy now...imagine b...

LOTS of 0.00s!

In my 3.75 years of using CPAP with very few problems (thanks to this Board!)...I have achieved a 0.00 AHI several times. Not chasing it, but happy when it happened. My average, according to SleepyHead Statistics tab, for the last year was .36. I hope that means that I've optimized my therapy. Howev...

Re: COVID-19: Wearing a CPAP full face mask outside in the day?

So I am not a great sewer but was thinking about getting a sewing machine to make masks for my family. I can do basic stuff. Then I thought of crocheting them. Has anyone here made their own masks? Hi! Haven't been on this forum in aaaqes...but am home a lot now! :)Here is one of my attempts at cro...

Re: OT: I am no longer pugless...pics of mine and I would like to see pics of your furbabies

I'm not a regular on the board, but I just wanted to post a tribute to my dog Frasier who passed away last year from mastic cell cancer. (Watch out for those small lumps under the skin...they can get big overnight... :( Although I've had 15 dogs in my lifetime and also had to bid them all goodbye......

Re: Resmed N30i Nasal Pillow Options

Another review/personal feelings. Tried N30i cradle cushion for a month. It's "useable" in a pinch, but I'll never reach for it unless necessary. For the first time I experienced a mask leaking into my eye. Leaked into left eye, would wake up and scooch it over a smidge...and it would leak into my r...

Somestimes one DOES find a good DME!

I know others have found good DMEs, but there are more stories of bad ones. I count myself lucky! AHM was my DME for 3 months while on private insurance and they did well by me. I started on Medicare in July 2017, but alack and alas, AHM was not on their approved list. Only Apria, Lincare, and a few...

Re: Shocked at my AHI!

Ahh.. I see what you mean Pale Rider. However, that screenshot I posted was my rogue, abnormal, crazy, ravaged-by-aliens screenshot....which is why I was "shocked" (lol) and posted a plaintive plea for help ! My S9 was showing higher-than normal (for me) AHIs during that April 18-25 period which mad...

Re: Shocked at my AHI!

What would I do without this ever helpful forum? I did realize that the 20.89 was double the 10.45 but didn't know the process that was causing it. Thanks, Pugsy for explaining the SH glitch. Out of curiosity I spent all morning scrolling back and turning off sessions. Doubled sessions went all the ...

Re: Shocked at my AHI! Update- Active Aliens at work!

Okie Bipap - Please beg Pugsy to keep her aliens at bay! Julie - Unfortunately wasn't merely a one time event...have had later AHIs way higher than my norm. BUT... anyone have an explanation for this? Scrolling back across recent previous AHI daily scores, I was startled to see this one: 20.89 which...

Shocked at my AHI!

I'm very fortunate in that I've had very minimal problems in adapting to/using my CPAP. Average for last 8 months =.45. However, this morning I woke up to this AWFUL AHI! I know every night can be different but in 2.5 years of CPAP use I've never gone over 3 and that was one time only. Went over 2.0...

Chasing 0.0 Redux/Thanksgiving

Chasing 0.00 Redux Nooo...I'm not chasing 0.00...they're just happening! I realize that 0.00 is attainable, but not always very common....but I've had three 0.0 readings in the past 6 days! The other 3 were .10, .11, .30. Is it possible, with the excellent help of this board, that I have managed to ...
