LOL She is a professor of mathematics.
Very interesting!
I now understand the connection and why she is as she is.........that makes perfect sense.
Ok RobySue........I see you don't need a new career BUT do know its out there for you if you want a change at some point in life
A professor of mathematics........ Just Perfect. Makes Perfect Sense!
Wait for a few days. Get comfortable with these settings. Let them do their work.
Comfort can be very therapeutic in our situation. One needs to be comfortable in order to use cpap therapy consistently. Some people prefer the auto function since they can coast along for a lot of the night at a lower pressure, this is especially true for people who have need for higher pressure during REM sleep, the lower pressure helps with swallowing air (aero something or other). Others find that the change in pressure wakes them up and disturbs their sleep.
I know she would advise the same and I will fight my instincts and pay attention only because I know you guys are way ahead of me on this but its not in my nature to go slowly.
I usually jump in full barrel, after giving it great thought but once I make the decision to do something, unless I decide not to at all, I will do all to an extreme but it usually works much better for me that way than taking things slowly and methodically.
That said, in the beginning my natural way of doing things wasn't working and I was aware of it so I was taking my time, doing what is unnatural for me BUT, it would have likely worked far better had I not had someone convince me that FF masks being given to mouth breathers was a well known and all understood mistake that DMEs make all the time.
Hence i finally gave up and jumped from 10-13 without a problem. Just more my style.
But I will go slowly and see if it works that way.......first
I did try the Auto function when I first got the Auto Set but I was still only a few weeks of complying at that point but was feeling like a frisbee and nothing seemed to be working.
It was RobySue that suggested I put it back to CPAP and that worked. Considering the circumstances in retrospect I see why.
But I will be willing at least to try it one more time in the future at some point. Its too early for me to say if i will like it or not once i am settled
