Gideon I do not have a copy of my prescription. #2 & #26 supplier need the Rx to purchase. # 30 supplier has a Rx service for $99.99 which will allow me to buy outright a new AirCurve VAuto. I called a local DME supplier who will rent The AirCurve VAuto for $150.00/month.
I messaged my doctor twice in MyChart, he or his staff are reading the messages but still no reply. I have attached my 2nd sleep study from 2-12-2018. Also attached is my Oscar report from last night using a "flat pillow" similar to "My Pillow". The pillow I have been using is a "neck pillow" which has a low and a high ridge to support my neck. It occurred to me it that may be partially responsible for my "chin tucking". Well last nights Oscar report indicates, I made my Events worse, especially my CSA's.
I looked at some Cervical or soft collar options on Amazon, also I will go to CVS today to find one that fits, not too tight. However, I like to see if it would help with my mouth opening rather than using tape. So I like the one that cradles my chin, my wife measured my neck 15 inches.
What would be a good settings for the AirCurve VAuto BiPap to start with? VAuto or S Mode? VAuto Mode Settings: Max IPAP 25.0, Min EPAP 4.0, PS 4. S Mode Settings: IPAP 12 / EPAP 5, Easy-Breath "On", Ti Max 2.0s / Ti Min 0.3s, Trigger Med, Cycle Med, Mask Full Face (for now) Ramp off, Start EPAP 4, Climate Ctrl & Tube Temp. Auto, Smart Start On.
My doctor could drag on for weeks or months. It possible I can have an BiPap to rent for a month next week from my local DME. Well see what happens. I am really disappointed in my Events last night. I really thought it could be the pillow. Sometime last night I raised the adjustable bed up without a pillow. I did not sleep during that time, so I lowered it back down and used the flat pillow.
Thank you Gideon and Sleeprider for your responses.
