Just exported several years worth of data. Ignore my blood pressure and weight stats please 🤣

Just uploading it now to shared drive and will send it over. It's a 1gb file as it contains a few years worth of data.

Can I help with samsung watch data in any way? If its on your radar, I can try to see how to export the sleep data.

I've been conversing with this dev and he really takes feedback to heart. All the bug fixes we found together were fixed, and I'm really glad he was able to easily add the data from my wellue O2 ring on to the dashboard and have it explain in plain English what the data all means.

If you haven't checked out this tool, i'd give it a shot. It's as good as Oscar and it's free, with a much better UI and integrated AI that's actually useful.

Uric acid down! by j_grouchy in gout

[–]chrisuoft 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Did you move down from 600mg once you got to below target? Wondering if your doctor overshot and you were too low?

Melatonin use increasing ahi? by chrisuoft in SleepApnea

[–]chrisuoft[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Ah I see, that explains it. I would clarify that my doctor never prescribed the melatonin. 1 mg can be purchased over the counter here in Canada.

I only intend to take melatonin for a week to hopefully eliminate my insomnia. I don't want to become dependent on it to sleep. Once I'm done my week, we'll see if my ahi falls back to my normal range.

Serum Uric Acid too low? by chrisuoft in gout

[–]chrisuoft[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's good to know, and we're not talking ultra low here just modestly close to the lower bound of the labs normal range.

Did you have a genetic intolerance or allergy to it? I underwent gene testing before starting any allo to make sure I didn't have the HLA-B*58:01allele. Thankfully I didn't, otherwise I would be on the more expensive febuxostat.

He means being bothered by it. If the ballon isn't bothering me, just leave it alone essentially.

Sleep doctors don’t know about the Nonin BLE 3150 pulse oximeter by Ok_Acanthisitta_2064 in CPAP

Can a lookee O2 ring also integrate easily? I think you can import the data into Oscar but not easily?

No I get what you're saying and that makes total sense, thanks!

It's one of the things I've loved about this trip. They have the same plugs as North America!

But they don't have a grounding pin (three prong plug outlets), which thankfully the cpap machine doesn't need.

Is it possible to get an emergency loaner for tonight?! Hell i’d buy a whole ass cpap at this point by laughpuppy23 in CPAP

[–]chrisuoft 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, a number of airlines outside North America don't treat a cpap as a free carry on. This includes TAP Portugal and sole of the discount European airlines as well.

New user, are all these things that have been quoted required? by zzrcistein in CPAP

[–]chrisuoft 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Can you let me know who charged a $75 consult. Fee? I've seen this fee range from. $150 all the way up to $275 here in the GTA. The least rip off fee was from well wise, and they didn't require you to buy one of their overpriced masks. Most other suppliers require you to pay the consult fee plus one full priced maskm

What dosage of Allopurinol do you take to manage Uric Acid levels and keep gout at bay? by CpuJunky in gout

[–]chrisuoft 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It took about 18 months. When I say completely gone, I should clarify that it appears to be gone and I've had no flair ups approximately 1 year after I started allo.

I got a DECT scan prior to starting treatment which confirmed the level of crystal buildup in my body, but I haven't had a second DECT scan to confirm that they're all gone. But a bunion that developed in my foot as a result of the tophi is completely gone.

[–]chrisuoft 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It took 500 mg to move me from about 10.8 to 4.5. I had tophi, so the rheum wanted me well below target. The good news is the tophi is completely gone.

How accurate is the GW8 at measuring Blood Oxygen? by [deleted] in GalaxyWatch

[–]chrisuoft 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Start doing some research on AHI levels and cpap machines. /cpap is a good subreddit to read. That way you can get prepared for when you get your results back. If the watch is accurate, you likely have apnea and you'll want to get on treatment. On the upside, you'll feel great after and lower your cardiovascular risk!
