I'm not trying to slam my DME. Actually, they have been good to me. They were originally going to give me a straight CPAP, and when I asked if I could have an AutoPAP they said yes and gave me one no questions asked.

My sleep study was one night at home with a pulse oximeter, it showed I had an AHI of 10. Then I had a 1 week titration with a Remstar auto. I had a terrible time sleeping with the cpap my first week! My mask, a Profile Lite, was comfortable enough. I just could not fall asleep with the feeling of a...
