There's a new link to last night's OSCAR chart.
For some reason, the initial link included Xylomint...???
My apologies.

Re: Increasing AHI
Thank you for your response/ Lately, it's representative of a typical night. AHI has more typically been in the 2.0 area on my OSCAR charts. I'm almost certain that my issues are related to nasal congestion, which leads to mask leaks, dry mouth and screwy OSCAR chart readings. How might I provide ad...

Re: Burning Question.....
Thank you all for the suggestions.
My hair is short. A conventional, traditional style. Even showering and shampooing don't help
What are 'Strap Pads'....? Skull cap, Do-Rag & Hair net all sound plausible. I'll give 'em a try.

Burning Question.....
I have an important, serious, life altering situation that is crying out for a solution..........
