Guest guest Posted September 20, 2008 Report Share Posted September 20, 2008 Doreen and group; I have no idea what pressure my c-pap is. Maybe I need to read derections more. I get so much to read on my medications it gets tiresome. I wish I could knew how to set my pressure on the c-pap. Oh, yes, I should have watched them to Shirly. Very smart of you. Doreen are you a RN? Or something similar? Cause I don't remember anything about a C-pap in college. Oh boy, I am having fun with the subject line. I hope I don't get into trouble for changing the subject line. She probably wouldnt even notice untill I mentioned it haaaaaaaaaa. I hope it's ok putting your name up there Doreen. I will hear about it, I am sure. I just love to write. I wrote short stories when I was a teen ager. I dont have them now. I forgot how to write stories. gentle kind hugs everyone Clora > Wow, Darcy.

Guest guest Posted September 20, 2008 Report Share Posted September 20, 2008 ***LOL*** Clora, you are funny I am not an RN or even in the medical field in anyway other than a disgruntled patient. When your machine starts up, there might be a number that shows in the display to tell you what your pressure is, but I wouldn't recommend changing the pressures on your own. I imagine some could consider that self-medicating just like adjusting medications on our own without a doctor's approval. So, ssshhh - we won't tell my doctor I did that *lol*.......Doreen > > Doreen and group; > > I have no idea what pressure my c-pap is. Maybe I need to read > derections more.

Guest guest Posted September 21, 2008 Report Share Posted September 21, 2008 Doreen and group; Haaaaaaa. Yes, I try to be a comedian. I wasnt trying that time. I guess it works out when I am not trying to lol. Disgruntled patient lol. YOur hillarious. I looked for a number on my c-pap but I didnt see one. Anyway when I go for the sleep study they will work it out I guess. I hate going to the sleep study. But it's what the doctor wants. Its not the c-pap causing my headaches. I been having headaches since I was in my early twenties. I studied intensely about headaches. I believe its cluster headaches. My doctor don't listen to me or he don't believe me. So I got to sleep at the hospital with a bunch of wires hooked to me again. gentle hugs Clora > ***LOL*** Clora, you are funny I am not an RN or even in the > medical field in anyway other than a disgruntled patient.
