Mary Z replied to Tom Cannon's discussion ResMed software update"I am only guessing that they are constantly updating, but the changes might just be with each new version of the machine. There was a long discussion on this on apneaboard and I believe the consensus was you can't update your machine as…"
Mary Z replied to Corey Stricker's discussion MRCA & infectious diseases"I think this is a question for your infectious disease doctor. I think I would want to change masks and get a new hose. Many of us carry MRSA in our nostrils."

Corey Stricker posted a discussionMRCA & infectious diseases
I am looking for advice regarding CPAP and infectious disease. A couple weeks ago I came down with a Staph infection, or MRCA, in my nostril. I have not used my CPAP machine since then as I have been waiting for the infection to clear up. I am concerned that the CPAP may have been the source of infection. If this is the case, I am concerned about going back to using the CPAP in fear of being re-infected. Is anyone knowledgable about MRCA and whether it can be transmitted through the tubing…See More
ZolliStar commented on Peter Esposito's status" I'm sure you've tried this, but if you haven't: Maybe you should change to a different mask?
FWIW, I recently tried a full face mask and can't say I really like it. I tried to get used to it,…"
ZolliStar posted a discussionSoClean CPAP Sanitizing Machine
Has anyone tried this machine? If it does what it say -- fully sanitize the mask, headgear and tank -- it sounds like a real benefit and likely worth the cost.https://betterrestsolutions.com/SC1100-SoClean-CPAP-Sanitizing-Unit_p_17.htmlSee More
joe replied to joe's discussion operation"I have recently had a small operation for the above.
It involves a small camera going up the nose and then you are sent to sleep.
When you have an Apnea the camera picks up what is causing it.

Henning replied to Henning's discussion Blood pressure medication and breathing."Yes, you can find links to OSA.
I think the biggest problem is that many of the side effects that can follow Enalapril, are also symptoms of OSA. Therefore, it may be difficult to separate symptoms.
Here is a link linking OSA and Enalapril…"

Can anyone recommend a good sleep doctor in the NY area?
I also have Lyme Disease so if anyone can recommend a doctor that knows about that as well that would be ideal.
Thanks

Danny, I believe you can see a doctor at Sleep and Pulmonary Associates of New York. Ask if Dr. Klapholz takes Medicaid. (I believe he does.) I see a primary care doc there as well and I KNOW she takes Medicaid, so I believe everyone does but you need to check. They open on Monday morning. I highly recommend him. They have their own sleep lab. Good luck! --Janie

I know this is last minute, but if you're in the metro NY area, I'm co-hosting a joint breathing-yoga workshop with master yoga instructor Deborah Quilter tomorrow (5/13) at the Jewish Community Center on Manhattan's Upper West Side at 8PM . I'll give a talk about the importance of breathing, and Deborah will give a Feldenkrais lesson that can almost double your lung capacity.
Call 646-505-5708 to register or go to jccmanhattan.org.
This Saturday at 8:45 AM, I'm giving a talk on Breathing Disorders & Chronic Disease at the Many Paths One Medicine Traditional Chinese Medicine Course at the Hotel Pennsylvania on 7th Avenue and 33rd Street.
Hope to see you there!
Steven Park
