I didn’t even know that I had brain fog my entire life until I felt relief from it more recently

RE: Born with CSA
Thank you Gideon. I tried to buy the oxygen bleed adapter but couldn’t find one locally. Now, I see the supplier list and will order through one of those. I have the SD card but I only use an iPad so I have to get someone to help me out with getting the data.
Would you be able to suggest a DME supplier where I could buy an ASV PAP without a prescription? After the incident at my mother’s house that I described above, my sleep schedule is messed up and only getting fragmented sleep during the day.

RE: Born with CSA
Glad to help. Let us know how it works out, and consider starting a therapy thread for the ASV. Be sure to have a SD card and reader available. Without data we would be really flying blind with the new ASV.

Wow! Look at the difference between these two charts.
The “bad” one is on CPAP with 3 liters of O2 and the nose pillow with the big opening under the nose The “good” one is on CPAP with 5 liters of O2 and the nose pillow that goes into each nostril

RE: Born with CSA
A few changes that I’ve noticed since starting CPAP one month ago:
Depression has gone I can type faster Write faster Pain in my lower right abdomen that I’ve felt for years has gone away The sclera is whiter Much more energy - a cup of coffee made me bounce off the walls for the first time in my life More focused Less forgetful Can see things from a new perspective which has allowed me to see my own mistakes Now understand why my life has fallen apart every few years - it was my only way to recover after non restorative sleep for so long I have hope
