Just curious, but why do you just use plain Cpap vs auto when auto machines can do cpap, but not the other way around? Autos give you more options and are better at providing meaningful data using software so you can tweak things if necessary.

The moral of my story though - seek professional advice wherever you can. See a sleep specialist and get the right advice, as the treatment can get costly if you go down the wrong path.
Well, the professionals who gave you advice,

I was diagnosed and recommended to use the Resmed Airsense 10 - a Fixed Pressure machine.
... stink. In this day, no one should be prescribed a machine that only has straight CPAP capability. :cry:
