Thanks for the feedback Kemosabe. I understand what AHI is, but not quite certain of "Fraction of Night in Variable Breathing". I'm assuming from your response it's a different breathing pattern that indicates what stage of sleep you are in? What number am I looking for here? BTW, when I said I "rip...

You guys nailed it. EncorePro went back to 1/24, but only for hours used. I guess the doctors only care if you're using it and not how effective it is. Anyway, I know now to do it once a week at least. This is really great stuff that MyEncore shows. I love the daily report. Here's my report from las...

Thanks all. Linda, I just checked the Encore Pro software and it shows data back to 1/24/2006. This is when I started. When I go in MyEncore, no matter how I set it in the preferences (last 30 days, date range, whatever) all it shows is 2/10 - 2/16. I'd like to see the data all the way back from 1/2...

How Long is data held on SmartCard

Hi all. I just got my reader today and everything went great on the setup. Had no problems at all and everything is connected and data downloaded. The problem I have is that it is only showing data from 2/10 through 2/16. I've been using the APAP with the card in it a lot longer than that. It seems ...

Thanks for the support. I have read a ton of posts on here and it has been great to read all the info others have gathered, but more importantly just to feel like there are others like you. It's hard to talk to family or co-workers because they aren't in the same situation and can't really understan...

Well, I've ordered a reader so I can see how my treatment is going. I have been on the CPAP for two weeks and the first mask did not fit me right. The 2nd is a Swift and I don't have a problem with it, but my problem is that I feel more tired now than I did before using the machine. It seems others ...

I think I have the same issue. When I read this post, I thought "that's me". I can lay there and actually feel like I'm closing the air off to my throat and then push my lower jaw out as far as I can and it seems like everything just opens up and there's no way I couldn't close off the air. I'm thin...
