I was also diagnosed with hypo-thyroid disorder and put on medication in April. Didn't notice much change in my energy levels at all. Dr upped the dosage once, don't get checked again till next year. Then I was diagnosed with OSA in June, and been on BiPAP since then. Am sleeping much better, and ha...

Thanks for the help, Moogy. And also to Rested Gal for the private message. Right now I'm using the BiPAP Auto with BiFlex setting. I adjusted the EPAP to 10 last night, but I may go higher, as my numbers still weren't great and I know most of my snores & A/H's come on the exhale. I can see why you ...

OK, I just received my new BiPAP Auto w/BiFLEX, as a replacement for my BiPAP Pro2. Thanks to everyone here who helped me gain enough knowledge to take data back to my Dr. to convince him I needed the Auto. My recommended titration was 11EPAP/16IPAP, so DME set the AUTO up for 6/20. I immediately ch...

Jennie, If your partner left you for snoring, you're likely better off without him anyway. How shallow. Welcome to this board. You came to the right place to get some excellent feedback and answers to your questions. I snored my entire life as far back as I can remember (I'm now 50), and haven't sno...

Will need to wait for the Home Nursing Assn to call me. Not sure if they have to order a new machine, or if they have one available..

It won't happen soon enough for me. But I need to be prepared to wait a week or so.

People that are HIV positive can kill people with their bodily fluids - but they are protected from anyone finding out about their medical condition.

The Doc agreed that my AHI and Snore Indices are way too high. So he agreed to let me try a BiPAP Auto!! He said the BiPAP Auto will likely become the defacto standard machine for treating OSA. Interesting thing is, it took me to bring the data to him from Encore Pro software & card reader that I pu...

Thanks for the responses. Yes, my machine is a Respironics - sorry. Goofproof - just curious why you said my pressure is low for the need for BiPAP? The sleep tech tried CPAP, but I apparently couldn't handle the high exhale pressure. The doc prescribed BiPAP at 8 & 14 - but during the sleep study t...

I've been absorbing as much info as possible from everyone on this site for several weeks - I must say I've learned a great deal here without even posting. Thanks for all your help so far, but now I need help interpreting my data. My AHI during sleep test was 48. Been on BiPAP (Resmed Pro 2) for 31 ...
