RE: Chaging from CPAP to BiPAPposted in Equipment
@Sarah hi Sarah its very nice of you to check in with me. I have been using the BIPAP for almost 6 months now and finding it really good. I feel great no more headaches or daytime sleepiness, much more energy than this time last year! I use the nostril pillows P10 Airfit I think its called and a Phillips Dreamstation. The data from the machine is amazing and it means I need a sleep study less often! My AHI is down to about 0-3 on average which is down from 72 when I started therapy a year ago. Incredible technology! Thanks to you and the other members of this forum for your support when I really needed it! How are you doing? I love all your videos! Merry Christmas and hope 2021 is better for everyone! Kind regards, Carolyn

Chaging from CPAP to BiPAPposted in Equipment
hi everyone Just wondering if any of you have gone from CPAP to BiPAP? How did you find it? Did they get the pressures right? I am used to CPAP for 6 months now but have to go on to BiPAP but my first try was a disaster as it felt like a vacuum cleaner sucking my face off it was so strong!

RE: Chaging from CPAP to BiPAPposted in Equipment
Hey Sarah, Anthony and Rainr I switched to BiPAP on Saturday for second time, the settings were adjusted to be lower so I could tolerate it. I tested it in my chair upright this time, and wanted to see what it felt like before I tried at sleep time. It was weird feeling at first watching my chest wall go in and out so much but I took to it fairly quickly. I tried it that night and low and behold after a lot of nerves I slept with it all night. and the next night! So proud of myself. Hopefully I can keep it up. Thanks for your support. This is an awesome forum - lets get more people on it! cheers, Carolyn

RE: Power Wheelchair Usersposted in Equipment
I have a Permobil C350 and I love everything! I love the tilt,recline, foot up and power elevation. I love the pedometer so I can see far I travel (not that I am going far now!) I love its reliability and design.
BUT they aren't making rear wheel drives anymore so that is a real bummer! How am I gonna get used to mid or front wheel drive when Ive had a rear wheel for over 30 years! What type of chair do you have Sarah? -
