[quote="jsmythe"][quote="lktnky"]Thanks so much, Hawthorne. It's good to hear encouragement from those who've made it. I think, though, that 'making it' is a day to day thing, yes? I've had a bunch of trouble with my Respironics machines. I've had 3 since January. None of them would consistantly rec...

Hawthorne, Yes, it is a bipap-Respironics BiPAP Auto M (until tomorrow). Isn't a pressure setting a pressure setting, though? I'm still learning and it's an upward curve for me!

Babs I've been through 3 (count 'em, 3) that wouldn't record any data. I know it wasn't me. I'm waiting for my...

WWAAAAYYYYY more elaborate than mine, but good to have.
Thanks very much.

My Respironics BiPAP Auto's smart card would never consistantly record my nightly data so I started keeping track of the daily data from the screen on a simple spreadsheet.
