My sleep clinic discharged me, saying they were happy I was self-managing. Roll on a decade and the cardiologists taking care of me were very unimpressed and I was re-enrolled. I expect remote monitoring with current generation Resmed…"

"Hi Jonathan,
Thanks again for the info. My cpap *should* be monitored by the NHS though I haven’t had any contact from them since pre-covid. I checked out the link you gave to access extra data and I think that’s going to be…"
"Hi
I have the ResMed Airsense 10 Autoset (APAP). It's monitored remotely by my NHS sleep clinic and I believe they can make changes to the settings. I don't know whether they are notified if I make changes, nor whether they…"

Thanks for the reply. I'd say that I'm fairly technical. I have the ResMed Airsense 10 Elite machine. I've discovered that I can upload data wirelessly from my machine and having lowered the pressure by…"

Hi Manda
I am get on with my GP he is quite supportive but haven't had any input from The Pain Clinic for over 10 years. They thought that I could control my pain without their support. Since I have cut down the Gabapentin my quality of sleep has decreased since. Hopefully this is a temporary thing and once my body gets use to the lower dose. I need to male an appointment with the GP about getting the purified water for the APAP and also for my new steam mop as I have had two mops fail within a year of purchase. Vax is going to replace it.
Dee
The sleep doctor wants me to reduce 4 of the medications I am on because he feels that these are causing the CSA. I am going to reduce the dose by 100mg today and see how I feel. My pain levels are on the increase at the moment. He also wants me to come off Tramadol, Mirtazapine and Citialopram but it will all take a while to come off them.
Dee
PS: Sorry to hear about your husband.
Hi Manda
I'm doing okay. The Mirtazapine is working now i feel better. Currently I am trying to reduce my Gapabentin I am noticing that my pain levels are on the increase, tomorrow will be the second week of the reduction. How are you I hope ok.
Dee
