Angelcare Monitor…………?

Written by admin on May 10, 2009 – 2:35 pm -

Did it give you a lot of false alarms. My daughter is on an apnea monitor that is rented monthly, but it hasn't had any alarms so we will be returning it. Just wondering if the angelcare gave off a lot of false alarms or if anyone had any problems with it.

When I was researching infant movement monitors, I found the Angelcare Monitor and BabySense V…the reviews from the Angelcare said that they had false alarms alot. So I bought the BabySense V. I LOVE it. I have not had one false alarm. Lilah is 8 months and I have been using it since she was about 2 months old. The reviews on it are awesome. I read them at various places. Here is the one I bought.

I think it was around $130 or something like that. Worth EVERY penny in my opinion. The only con I read somewhere is that the batteries run out quick – NOT TRUE. I have had the same batteries (2AA) in there since I bought it (6 months now) and have not had to replace them yet! I love it and DEFINITELY recommend it. Plus their customer service is awesome!

What can one do to increase the temperature of the air flow from a cpap machine.?

Written by admin on May 10, 2009 – 2:34 pm -

The humidifier is turned all the way up and is working properly. However, my wife says the air freezes her face and she has stopped wearing the device. She really needs to use it, but she pulls it off in her sleep when she does wear it. Lately she hasn't used it at all because of the temperature of the air.

Heated humidification can help. My husband also complained about cold CPAP – we put a ceramic heater close to the intake – small enough to heat the area, but the rest of the room is cool. He likes it.

how can I breathe using a cpap with a deveated septum?

Written by admin on May 10, 2009 – 2:34 pm -

sleep apnea cpap machine with face mask can't breathe nose has deveated septum
been to ENT dr hence the diagnosis of the septum. sleep study confirmed OSA
(husband) throat closes and deveated septum can't breathe with or without mask, what to do? sleep dr not helpful.

First off, you really need to see an ear,nose throat doctor. it could be the cause of your sleep apnea. Fixing a deviated septum may help to open the nasal passages. A crooked septum can make breathing difficult. The condition also can lead to snoring and sleep apnea. The cpap is not going to help much.

is anyone on here on their way to menopause or in it? I will be 40 in 5 days and my hormone?

Written by admin on May 10, 2009 – 2:34 pm -

blood tests show that I am now headed for it. I have not had menses for 4 months now and the hot flushes and night sweats were only temp. I suffer from forgetfulness's and more anxiety which people think I am crazy as my mind races a million miles per hour. I take rivotrill at night and if I didn't I would have sleep apnea. My bones are much weaker. oh yea my mother went through menopause at 34. I was told to come back to the docs in 3 months time and he will do another hormone test. and based on that he said he might consider HRT. My hormone tests show I am in menopause now, I guess this could explain why I am not getting anymore menses. I do not feel like I am going to either. I suffer from gut cramps sometimes and have done so for so many weeks now. I heard this can be a symptom of some ladies. anyway ladies are things going to get worse from here? or will I just have the forget fullness and anxiety? Like i said the hot flushes only lasted a few weeks every night in which I had my fan on all night. will HRT strengthen my bones?
thanks dismahyed my mother said the other night when I said my tests show I am going through this now she said that every women goes through it. your right thank you
Hi dolly net jan will be 12 months with no period so then I an say I am going throiugh menopause post. godess no there is no godess I am a Christain who loves Jesus and The Father who is God who created everything in Heaven and eart6h and sent His Dear Son Jesus to die on the cross for the sins of the world.

No, I am not. I would suggest that you see both a medical doctor and a mental health professional. These are not religious issues, but medical ones.

I suggest this because of the fact that you have posted pretty much the same question over 15 times in the last month or so. I stopped counting at 16 times, but I would guess it is a lot more. I am also curious about the fact that you used different names in some of those posts. Lastly, your religious views can only be described as excessive. My fear is that something has driven you over the top and you need help.

In one post, you said you have not had a period in 12 months, in another post, you said it was 4 months. In one post, you said that you were already 40, two months later, you said that you are 5 days short of being 40. In one post, you said you started your periods at age 15, in that same post, you said you started at age 9. You also said that everyone is concerned that you are crazy. Girlfriend, listen to them, you really need to see a mental health professional, now.

Please post more information, but NOT in yet another post, so we can advise you properly, but you really need a professional's help.
