Re: KC's sleep study and therapy

I do think that the problem wasn't with the machine's ability to blow air or sense stuff in terms of doing it's primary job but instead it was a problem with the software for recording to the SD card. I could never prove it though and I have always felt like when a machine doesn't do everything it ...

Re: KC's sleep study and therapy

Using another SD card did not solve the problem. :( Last night there were 13 sessions and the interruption time was more than one hour and a half. I suppose the line voltage is stable and in the acceptable range. Unfortunately I do not have a spare power supply to try. I am a light sleeper and am al...

Re: KC's sleep study and therapy

Pugsy and BlueDragon, thank you very much for your replies and suggestions. Reboot does not seem to work, I have done it when I replaced the power extension cord which I suspected it might be damaged. I will try to replace the SD card. Sorry for asking maybe a silly question: do I need to "prepare" ...

How many sessions is it showing on the left side down below the machine settings?

Is SmartStart on or off?
There are 27 sessions. SmartStart is off.

Re: KC's sleep study and therapy

Can someone explain me, please, why there are so many interruptions in the graphic below? It looks like the machine stopped working for several times during the night. I am sure I haven't turned it off/on. All the graphs from last month look similar and I have no idea why. Is it something wrong with...

Re: KC's sleep study and therapy

Pugsy, thank you for your reply.

I've found an online seller that ships to Europe - they confirmed in a live chat. I hope all goes well and I get the needed replacement parts.

Re: KC's sleep study and therapy

Thanks for your reply, Julie!

Unfortunately I do not know (well enough) someone in the US to ask them such a favor.

Is this restriction only on cpap.com? Can anyone, please, recommend other reliable web shops that ship ResMed to Europe? Thanks!

Re: KC's sleep study and therapy

Hello everyone! Haven't been on the forum for a long a time, so here is just a short update: I am doing great with my apnea treatment, AHI is most of the time under 1, I sleep well and wake up rested in the morning. I was very happy with the Swift FX Nano mask, tried also the Airfit N30i and liked i...

Re: KC's sleep study and therapy

Thank you, Pugsy, for all the explanations. I will take time to examine closer my flow rate charts. I suspect my arousals and flow-limitations have something to do with my chronic sinusitis. Last week I started to use something similar to a Neti pot and saline solution to clear my sinuses. Maybe the...

Re: KC's sleep study and therapy

Thanks for the reply.

Those were the only events last night. It is definitely better than before CPAP, my numbers are great, still not feeling rested and fresh in the morning. I think my body needs a longer time to recover from those sleep deprivation months.

Re: KC's sleep study and therapy

I didn't do any HRT. What with 2 aunts (on my mom's side) having breast cancer...my mom having breast cancer (twice)...my grandmother on my mom's side having breast cancer ...and a personal friend developing it about 1 year after going on HRT and 25 years later it came back. There is no history of ...

Re: KC's sleep study and therapy

Speaking of menopause: https://www.medscape.com/viewarticle/909790?src=wnl_edit_tpal&uac=309738BJ&impID=1899444&faf=1 Accupuncture is reported to help. There are also studies that say "acupuncture doesn't work" or that it works, "but only compared to nothing". HRT definitely works better, but the d...

Re: KC's sleep study and therapy

Yep, OP is a "she". Would like sometimes to be a "he" just to avoid these annoying menopause symptoms. The last 7 months were a totally different life for me than before, it feels like lot of things go wrong in my body. I'm trying to keep a positive attitude but it is not easy with sleep deprivation...

Re: KC's sleep study and therapy

The machine may not respond optimally if the settings are 4 to 8 as in auto range. It likely won't move off 4 very much. When I had the machine set to 6-20, it raised to a max of 10.92, and the average was 6.99. You might do better with a minimum of 8 and maybe max of 12. The machine won't auto adj...
