Is there a forum for central sleep apnea patients with Remede implant

The one I have is set to come on at bed time and off at normal waking time. I don't think it would work out to keep it on all day as it actually puts an electrical impulse to your frentic nerve that makes your diaphragm move or breath. It takes some getting used to this initially and it is set to come on at a time that you would already be asleep so that you do not fight it. If I get up it will shut off and will wait and delay coming on when I go back to bed. They also give you a safe side that you can turn on which will shut it off in case you are having trouble with it. When you turn away from your safe side, it will gradually come back on. You would need to ask the manufacturer for sure.

Thanks for the feedback. I will probably follow up with their invertation to one of their web programs. I assume it is mostly a hard sell, but I would get info.
Right now, Im Ok with my ASV machine but settings are 15 with possible automatic jump up to 24 which is so high it is difficult to get mask not to leak when it jumps to 24. I'm still looking for a "real" diagnosis as to what my lungs are doing. So far its, try this (ex: Bipap) if that doesn't work we try something else. Well, it didn't work for 6 months and actually caused more problems. (Chayes Stokes pattern).
I do have central sleep apnea and I think I also have problems during the daytime. I will work with lung doctor and sleep specialist on it.
So far, 4 complete sleep studies in the clinic and a few lung function tests.
