My Meeting with the Respironics Rep update

Many people in this thread listed links to the USERS manual. In my opinion that is pretty useless.

Linda found a link to what appears to be another online DME that has the PROVIDER manuals there.

This is what you want. Note the top instruction that says to Remove this manual before giving the machine to the patient.

That is the instructions you really need to control your treatment. That and the software.

I quickly saved all the manuals I thought I might ever want to my harddrive since with stuff like this you never know when the link may come up with a blank page (removed).

Well OK, I reset the macine last night to 6-15. I think I slept better than when it was set to 4-15. My experience seems to firm up what many of you are saying that 4 is way to low to to any good.
I am still taking off the mask after a few hours, but hopefully this Auto machine is better for me and eventually will be able to keep it on all night. in the mean time I am struggling to make this work. Ever onward. I am truely envious of you who are finding this therapy to be so good. My goal is to someday shout the virtues of CPAP.

Thanks all.

Bernie

You can buy clinician manuals for about $7 from several sellers on Ebay. I got one and they sent me a paper copy of the basic reference chart, and a pdf of the entire manual.

I've got a different machine (Auto) or I'd be happy to send you the pdf for free.

Why are u taking your mask off? Are u doing it unconsciously in your sleep? or just tired of having it on your face? Gotta suck it up man and keep it on all night!!!!!

Well Lyza,
I guess you can call me Clark Kent in the Metropolis of CPAP. Hopefully I will get the pressure right and not get a suffocating feeling thus be able to keep the mask on. I will be there eventually. Sucking it up (a very good pun, by the way ) is not in the cards for me right now.
