taken a step backwards

Post by SleepyHead09 » Sun Jun 07, 2009 8:52 am

i have been on cpap now since the 27th of may. felt really good untill a few days ago. when the dme turned off the c-flex, now i am feeling tired all day like i had been before. don't know if it is my imagination or not. is it common to have therapy go backwards?

WHY did they do that??? (or why did you let them?) They would have to have had an order by the doctor to do that.

So......why don't you just turn it back on? It's a comfort feature and for the most part has no affect on your therapy.

By the way......what are your machine settings? Go through the setup menu and write them all down.

i really don't know why l let them turn it off, i had a lot on my mind at the time when i was at the dme. i think i am going to turn it back on. i really don't know why they did that.

At a pressure of 15 cm., a little exhale relief could certainly help.
