After reading this thread, I've decided not to trust my DME... and will consult with my doctor on everything! Can't say I've had a great experience with the DME anyway. They gave me the machine that my doctor ordered (I think), and did just enough so that I wouldn't complain about them to my doctor.

Arch... thank you for your help! I think I finally did it.

My machine is the ResMed S9 Elite with climate control humidi ... heard it was a good machine, tho I wo...

Many of you seem to be so knowledgeable - seems no need for a sleep tech or a doctor. My ResMed H5i was set up for me after my sleep study and I started using it about three weeks ago. If I had not read so much here, I would have never thought about what all the numbers meant -- leaving that up to m...
