OK, so here's a screenshot from last night. Also a link in case that's easier to view
http://imgur.com/SQM36gt Don't really have any questions at this point, just posting as a record of where I am, in case you want to comment on anything you see. The 5h 39m was my total time in bed, I did not go back to bed after this. If I had have, based on recent history, my AHI would probably have shot up to 10 since it goes up during my second sleep cycle.
Last night I had a ramp time of 10 minutes and a start pressure of 5 and a range of 7 - 13. I've got a cold right now so I decided to back the pressure level down a bit to my prescription setting, and I had a fairly comfortable night all things considered. WindCpap, I know you keep telling me to use autoramp, I may try it at some point, just not yet.
I'll have a good night and then a bad one, but I continue to see strong glimmers of hope, as even with my unpleasant cold and being all stuffed up I slept OK, AHI was not bad IMO, and when I woke up I actually couldn't tell that there was any back pressure, even though I was mainly breathing through one nostril, so that was pretty incredible. I am also working hard to get back on a fixed sleep schedule of getting up at the same time every day, which was thrown off kilter by my initial battle and increased exhaustion from not sleeping soundly with CPAP, I know from experience that as soon as I do that I'm going to start to sleep even much better.
I also ordered the Philips DreamWear mask which should arrive tomorrow, which I am very intrigued by, I'm going to see how I do with that.
Thanks
