I see that we finally agree on something banyon.
first off you have a dry mouth because you sleep with your mouth open
secondly drink more water to hydrate your defences
is that a remote possibility or are you sleeping on it
On sofas with remotes in hand.
there i a need to propose a new bill to regulate politians and for them to be licenced
and a three yearly fee and a yearly fee simular to what is proposed for the polysomnographic technolihists bill but a much higher threshold in fees
in other words where is the greatest concentration of people with sleep apnea
also the technoligy is there for no wires
my electric toothbrush has no wires and is charged by induction, no wires involved
also can they not do the sleep and MLTA at the same time
money money money its a rich mans dream
so the song goes
you mentioned some time you do your best work at or inbetwee 3-5 am with other sleep techs
are they in the same time frame a you eg do they live in the usa and in the same time zone
like i am 7 hours ahead of you it was 8 untill you move the clock…

- 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.

Dave said… - 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!

Are you over-tightening your mask?
Same stuff. 3 yr standard warranty on machines.. i think its 2 in US???
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…
I turn my as high as it will go every night, which is still not nearly high enough in the winter, with gas heat running. I wake up with sandpaper tongue and all, even on max settting. Very frustrating. I think I was overcharged for a really crappy m…
I am 65 - as of two days ago! Was diagnosed with sleep apnea last August, but also definely had longer.
PS: Thanks, Mike for all you do for this site - ANd many thanks to all who contribute!!
This site has been such a BLESSING>
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.
I used to work for the phone company and one night we had a driving rain that had filled some radio waveguides (rectangular copper pipe that connects the radios to the antennas on top of the tower) with water, and the waveguides needed to be dried o…

Good Luck! Enjoy Ann Arbor! UoM hosiptal is amazing
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.
When I first started using Pur-sleep Aromatherapy I wanted a clean pad. The ones supplied at the time were reusable and I am too lazy to wash them daily. Others suggested to keep reusing them. Bret has since came up with a "disposable" pad that can…
Carol, that was entirely Too Much Information about pantiliners. :) I cannot unread and I cannot unsee the mental picture of pantiliners .
a a , I've woken up with swollen eyes and a somehat sore jaw. The soreness in my jaw resolved quickly.
But, this was when I was wearing a FFM.
A few months late, but welcome to SleepGuide.
