Re: Tired of being tired
Depends on your insurance coverage. Under Medicare, we would have paid less than $20 a month for 13 months for each of our machines. The price for each of our machines is over $1700 each and we would have paid less than $260 for each of them. You will need to make a comparison of what it will cost ...

Re: Tired of being tired
The insurance companies want you to use the machine they purchase for you. If you don't use it, it is a waste of their money. Most insurance companies use the same compliance requirements as Medicare. You must use the machine at least four hours a night for 20 out of 30 days. This needs to be done ...

Re: Tired of being tired
One of my best days in terms of how I felt followed a night when the AHI was 10.4...go figure that one. :lol: AHI of 1 something doesn't qualify for high at all. I don't even give anything a sideways glance until I consistently see AHI over 2 and then it's usually not much of a look. What is your g...

Re: Tired of being tired
Please don't go making changes in anything too quickly. Give your body a chance to adjust to a change before making a new change. Felt good with 8, going back to that today. I also have a full face mask I want to try... is that too much change? By the way thank you Pugsy! I appreciate your input so...

Re: Tired of being tired

Re: Tired of being tired
You need to understand what a 95% number is.... It's NOT where you spent 95 % of the night... the definition is.... where the pressure was at OR BELOW for 95% of the night. The "or below" part is critical to the definition. People often don't understand it or forget that part...but it is critical t...

Re: Tired of being tired
On paper the reports look good. How are you feeling and sleeping? Feeling pretty tired past few days. Not bad like precpap days but more than I would like. I wonder if the up and down pressures are disturbing your sleep enough to keep you tired, but not enough to wake you up much. Your numbers are ...

Re: Tired of being tired
I guess the math on your charts will be one of life’s little mysteries, until an expert can come along and explain.... About leaks: I have a P10 too, and for quite some time I struggled with mouth leaks, which woke me up over and over each night. Using a Dr. Dakota neck collar helped some, because ...
