Only when playing my dreadnought of my own a-chord.

I'm trying to get comfortable with the Swift FX with the Bella Loops and found that last night I was much more comfortable with lower pressures. I can't imagine having to wait for a doctor appointment in order to do this. Along with the thinking that the DME police will put you in jail, I think that new people are afraid of their machines (anyway, I was at one time), so think they are stuck using whatever pressures the doctor decided was 'right' for them.

Interesting and on topic thread, thanks!

absolutely,
I went back to my nasal pillows from the amara view, and I got all kinds of aerophagia. I think I woke up to burp out the air 3 times. the pressure was tremendous, yet for some reason I didn't fix it mid last night. I guess even if I wake up I'm still kind of half asleep, but with the nasal pillows I'll probably have to lower the pressure quite a bit.

My problem is I cant figure out if or when i should change pressure. About 2 months ago changed my airsense from continuous to auto. Sleep seems marginaly better. I look at Sleepy head data and I cant figure out how the understand it. Been on Therapy since may been compliant since day 1. Still exausted cant seem to shake it. (VA) Dr states all numers look good must be fine.

That's why people post charts in this forum - to get advice from experienced SH users. Start a new thread and post a typical night.

Start by reading "pugsy's pointers" up in the sticky post section on the front page.
