personal effect of soft cervical collar - eok361 - 09-25-2024
last night was rough. we went to sleep, but at about 11:10 pm, our older dog had an issue with his sleeping patterns (which are getting bad). we dealt with that, but when i went back to sleep (the middle section in this image), i forgot to put the scc back on.
you can see the results. after i woke up a while later, i realized what had happened and put it back on.
for me, personally, they make a huge difference in my therapy.

Wow, there sure is a big difference! It's good that you can see the difference right on your computer.
It would help us for future postings if you changed your Oscar charts a bit. We need to see the following items only, in the order posted, on your first page:
Event Flags
Flow Rate
Pressure
Leak Rate
Flow Limits
We need to be able to read to the very bottom of the Flow Limits section. Thanks!

Same, my chart was a complete mess before I learnt about the effect of my wind pipe being blocked when tucking my chin, its a miracle cure !

I use a travel pillow. I love it. No more regular pillow. Use the travel pillow in the C shape rather than the normal U shape - blocks chin drop and provides neck support

I also now sleep on my back, after years of training myself to side sleep because I was told that was the cure for snoring... No longer. Just sleep on my back, with the old memory foam pillow and apap with and ahi less than 1...
