"Just to tidy this up, I finally had an in-person review by my sleep clinic yesterday, who agreed the ResMed AirSense 10 was "wheezy" and replaced the machine."

My first thought is "don't panic"! We're all a bit different, and there are many things that can be tweaked. I took to CPAP therapy like a duck to water, but I've had friends who say they can't cope, but…"

ResMed AirSense 10 getting noisy

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.

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.
