RE: Please help with treatment review - OpalRose - 07-19-2021
Hi DaveL,
Looks like the N20 works best for you. Leak rate is good.
Can I ask, how many times do you wake up? I don't see breaks in your therapy, so you must be able to go back to sleep.
You can also try EPR at 2 or 3. See if that helps with comfort.
Sometimes, we have to look elsewhere for reasons why we keep waking. Are you taking any new medications? Have you had a complete physical lately?
There are so many things that affect our sleep. Believe me, I don't sleep all that well either.
RE: Please help with treatment review - DaveL - 07-19-2021
Thanks OpalRose.
Gideon started me at EPR=3 By post 389 he reduced it to EPR=1
How many times do I wake up? I usually wake up about 3 times a night....but I get up once a night one or two times a week.
I move a lot. An amazing amount.
I also have restless leg syndrome. That was identified during my first titration over 30 years ago. 35? Confirmed during my last titration...just over 2 years ago. It's never been addressed. Except by my Golden Retriever...
I feel like I'm failing at OSA therapy. It's taken a long time. I've been compliant from the beginning.
No new medicine. I only take blood pressure medicine. In Canada 120 / 80 is expected of us 74 year olds....
Celebrating---a good night's sleep - DaveL - 07-23-2021
Woke up refreshed.
What a wonderful feeling
It's not about numbers...it's a feeling.
Thank you for your help. I hope that all experience this feeling.

Wait a minute... Is that a ZERO AHI?
CONGRATS!!
NO one can beat that DaveL.
SWEET
Bottle that and sell it!

Thanks!
I'm not used to feeling refreshed when I wake! This morning was a real blessing.
That's what was important today. (my ahi's have been terrible lately. I went back to basics last night. N20/my home-made pad under my chin. No coffee before bed...)
Worst night's sleep...feeling drained and overwhelmed - DaveL - 08-23-2021
For a while I've chosen to sleep without a pillow.
Last night's sleep was terrible.
Please take a look at my OSCAR reading.
How can I improve? This is the worst night's sleep in a long long time.
Thanks
Dave

Next night was better. Lots better.
Lesson for me--there's more to a good night's sleep than my OSA treatment.
My OSA treatment is pretty much fixed. However, other things drag me down. But not always.

Dave, How isn't the treatment working? And be critical.
RE: Please help with treatment review - DaveL - 11-07-2021
Hi Gideon. I don't feel rested. I have no energy at all. When I sit down anywhere at home I fall asleep. Any time of the night or day.
