I have been running a pressure of 9 for a couple of months with an A.H.I. of around 1.5. Recently I decided to try an oral appliance. I was told the appliance will not eliminate CPAP in my case but could reduce the pressure. My pressure is not high but I would prefer to reduce it if possible. So fol...

Thanks for the feedback everyone. Terry,you may a point regarding CPAP versus APAP and back sleeping. When I first started, a pressure of only 5 bothered me so an APAP was great. At this point my range is 8-10 and I was titrated at 10 but my 90% is 9. My A.H.I. is 1-2 but can be 3 sometimes which it...

No. I haven't tried that particular pillow and it doesn't appear members have had experience with it. It certainly has some strong claims. I did try the PAPillow as well as memory foam pillows and I couldn't tell a difference. I suspect someone here has the answer because I always find the answer he...

After 4 months I continue to make progress on CPAP (actually APAP) . I was a long time back sleeper and have to a large part made the transition to side sleeping but still wake up at times on my back. If I could reduce the back sleeping further I suspect I could reduce my A.H.I. further. I've not tr...

Thanks for the responses. I've been running 1.0- 3.0 which is vastly improved since I first started on CPAP 4 months ago. I believe it will improve further.

If there are zero Non Responsive events in the data over the night ,why is it important that the A.H.I. still be as low as possible (under 5.0) ?

Thanks for the suggestions. Will reseach those topics further.

Well, I've got a mess here. My computer crashed and am trying to reinstall Encore Pro but it refers to a "user name and password for server". Huh? I know little about computers so would appreciate any help. Does the Mako smart card reader program need to be uninstalled before Encore is reinstalled a...

For the last couple off weeks I've had facial flushing much of the time and some anxiety to go with it. I don't believe it's the mask ( the 432 which has been great for me ) as the redness covers all of my face as opposed to just in the mask area. I associate it more with nerves than a skin reaction...

Hey y'all-- Atlanta,Georgia...a native Atlantan-- one of the few...probably have crossed paths with many of you at our airport but even if you had been using your CPAP ,until recently I would have been too sleepy to notice ! Reading the posts from and about Oz and Italy stir the soul as they are my ...

Thanks for the feedback abd suggestions. I think you are right I need to raise the min pressure and am going to 8 and see the effect although I may initially leave it on auto and go from there. On my printout for 10/26/06 there is a table at the bottom of the page with pressures across the top rangi...

The two sets of data are for 2 nights.. 10/25/06 and 10/26/06.. the columns just didn't line up too well. I checked the numbers and they are correct. In the mornings I don't feel great but I feel a heck of a lot better than I have felt before CPAP. Each night I slept approximately 7 hours with 2 awa...

Sorry,that's Encore ! That's Enordinate spelling !

I need help analyzing a couple of nights data in deciding what's causing my OA to shoot up so high and raise my AHI. I would welcome any insights and suggestions. Thanks. My auto is set 7-12 pressure,Cflex at 2,titration was 11, My average leak for both nights was 25 (no large leaks) which is very g...

Thanks everyone for the suggestions. I'm behind the curve on computers so here goes nothing!
