Hey 99, After two months I finally found some time to work on reloading Encore Pro. I uninstalled the program and deleted all the MSSQL directories and files and it loaded right up. I did not keep a copy of my old data and hope I don't regret that some day. But for now I can see what is happening and that is important. My therapy works very well except when I roll onto my back. From the last five days I can see four of the five days there were periods where I rolled onto my back. So it is good to see the data and know that I have to take some steps to prevent brief periods of backsleeping.

Thanks for helping me.

If you are undergoing a sleep study in June and you have apnoea. You should by then receive the S9 and all the bits from the National Heath. If you wish to buy private you will need a form completed by the sleep clinic and then register at http://shop.realsleep.co.uk/. That's Resmed UK and you will be permitted to buy VAT free. Good luck with the sleep study

Thank you. I am looking forward to the forum but won't be checking things for the next few weeks. I'm working on something with positional sleeping but won't have the results for quite a while.
Good Health, 99!

Hi Michelle , the 406 is a very small mask, your nose is small but where on the bridge of your nose does it rest?? A slightly larger mask like the fisher paykel zest or a medium softgel mask from resmed may work.. i work in canada at a sleep company…

For me, this has been the most frustrating physical problem I've ever had, mainly because I can't seem to find a mask that will work for me, without leaving sore marks on my forehead and the bridge of my nose. And then there was the gel one that jus…

The Stanford surgeries do dramatically reduce the AHI of some number of patients. They are not "cures" and they are not universally effective; I would also like to see how many are still effective after five years. I have also had an MMA with a few…

I wonder if you have TMJ or if you're grinding your teeth while uding your CPAP. I know that they say if you have TMJ, you're more llikely to suffer from sleep Apnea. You should go to your dentist and have it checked out. Maybe you've been grinding…

My doctor and provider are the unmotivated ones, and uneducated to the extent that I made myself in an afternoon and a half. Personally, I agree with Brad; OSA is a simple, physics problem, and why there isn't more being done to find a surgical solu…

amen, this a very painful surgery to recover from as an adult. I had mine removed 2 years ago. It was absolutely no help. My new doctor said I should have not had it done. It only made treating my apnea harder.

No. Never. The results of the sleep test were sent to a capital city 300 km away. The technition did say that I was a very disturbed sleeper.
