Re: Need a new plan for BiPAP / CSA

These are probablies: Two isolated FLs F/B pressure attacks (OK, only a few 0.0 cmH2O, but there appears to be disturbances in sleep continuity that immediately follow). So I believe where we're going here (still need 39.5K breaths reviewed) is 1. Your sleep inherently sucks. 2. Taking crazymeds ma...

Re: Need a new plan for BiPAP / CSA

Never took Adderall. Oh yes that was me. 60mg IR Adderall is a huge dose, I'm nowhere near that lol. Can you clarify this? Are you on or off (that) meth? I've been on 40mg Vyvanse a day since I got prescribed. 2016 - 2022: took it as needed, only a few times a week (3 - 4 times). I also took week l...

Re: Need a new plan for BiPAP / CSA

Never took Adderall. OK sorry-- it looked like you responded In the beginning there was definitely a boost and pronounced effect. Now it feels like it is more subtle and some days feels like it doesn't do anything at all. to the guy who was dropping 60 mg IR, but whatever. Oh yes that was me. 60mg ...

Do you have the data "Changes to Machine Settings" from Statistics?
Sure thing.

Re: Need a new plan for BiPAP / CSA

Now that would be a great trick to see ... Yeah well magic tricks are never really "magic". For example, I follow reddit. What happened to the Adderall? Anyway, all that stuff can (usually) destroys sleep continuity. Poor sleep results in erratic breathing. See the circle starting to form? Never to...

Re: Need a new plan for BiPAP / CSA

... especially all the medications you're on and for how long. Although if you want to see a great magic trick, after you post the PSG (as long as it recorded sleep staging) and a couple SleepHQs, I'll tell you what medications you're on. Now that would be a great trick to see :D I'm only on two me...

Re: Need a new plan for BiPAP / CSA

I've always been a bad sleeper all my life... Hence, the non-existent forum MySleepisFU will give you the most help. Everything you've posted indicates that SDB is not the cause of your issue (at least most of it). Whatever was there is being effectively treated by your therapy (submit an image of ...

Re: Need a new plan for BiPAP / CSA

Rubicon - Speaking of which, of all the machine and settings changes, are there any where you feel truly rested (not sleepy)? You mention fatigue, but fatigue is not sleepy so what you're trying to fix may not be CPAPable. While you claim "good results" from the current therapy you also state you ar...

Re: Need a new plan for BiPAP / CSA

Palerider - "all of these" being pretty much nothing, except for the last post, and even that isn't in the "we should worry about it" stage. That is reassuring to hear :) My anxiety has been getting the better of me lately, especially trying to get my therapy figured out. Thank you More PS will driv...

Please let me know if you'd like to see any other details and I'll get them uploaded as soon as possible. Can you retrieve and post all the images from TOF? Waxing and waning is usually the result of too much (or not enough) something or other. Need some SleepHQ files and a lot more history, but in...

Re: Need a new plan for BiPAP / CSA

Thanks Palerider, appreciate your thoughts on this :D Centrals are a problem when you're having so many of them than your SpO₂ is dropping, which usually means you're having to have a lot of them. Makes sense. I think I was just alarmed when I went from having 0 centrals with DS1 to all of these pra...

Re: Need a new plan for BiPAP / CSA

What you shouldn't worry about are the insignificant amounts of CAs you're having. Thanks that is good to hear! I'm not an expert by any means but aren't CAs considered just as bad for your sleep and health as regular old apneas/hypopneas? I figured a few a night, like the 3 or 4 in my first chart,...

Need a new plan for BiPAP / CSA

Hi everyone, At the beginning of the yea I switched over from a DreamStation 1 to a Resmed AirCurve 10 due to needing a replacement at the time (FoamGate). I got a BiPAP on the advice of another well known apnea forum due to showing some flow limitations that had not been adequately treated by the D...
