Epark - Therapy Thread
Hello everyone, I'm back again, and decided to create a thread so I can ask ongoing questions and make changes.
I must admit I'm feeling quite confused as to why some things appear to work, and others not. I supposed the fact that I am unconscious while these things are happening doesn't help. I am now using the F&P Brevida, which I do enjoy wearing much more, and feel more comfortable rolling around in. It took a couple nights to get the leaks under control, and I've found 2 things that have worked for leaks but my AHIs seem a bit more out of control? When I was previously using the P30i, my AHI was typically 2-3, though I was having large leaks. With the Brevida, it's been closer to 4-5, with last night being 11. I've attached pictures of the last 2 night. Curious what everyone's thoughts are about the data and what suggestions there might be
Nov 14, Mouth Taping with ergonomic pillow (lower in the center)
Nov 15, Cervical Collar with regular memory foam pillow not too high
I did sleep more deeply last night, in that I didn't wake at all on Nov 15, whereas on Nov 14, I remember waking multiple times throughout the night, and so perhaps that's why there aren't such big OA clusters? Are these clusters on Nov 15 still PA even though I was wearing a soft cervical collar? It seemed to prevent mouth leaks, but doesn't seem to have made a difference with OA clusters.
