Started having problems at 9 so the doctor reset to 11, all is fine again. All I ready got from the test i a New Mask and the chin strap, all the machine setting are back where they were before the test.

Yep my loaner machine is a F&R ICON Series CPAP, it has a Flash card that can be removed and the test data is on that. They (American Home Patent) has the software to produce reports that the Doctor needs.

Thanks for the suggestion.

After the Last major test the Doctor reset the pressure to 9 cmH2O from 11. And so far I've had 2 retests were they issued me a loaner data capable CPAP, the regular machine is too new to issue me a new machine (got 1/2009). The first month at 9, which I'm done and they have the results, results wor...

American Home Patent set Machine pressure from 11 yo 9; so far OK!

Seams the hold up is to see the sleep doctor. Have appointment to go over the results in November, but I take in the Machine Wednesday to get the new settings put into the CPAP.

Maybe maybe not; I just another sleep test and they found a chin strap With the half mask worked better then the full mask; atleast for me it did. The tech though a full mask would work but not true.

If was me would hold on to the machine as things may grow back, my brother had surgery but it only help for a while.

Could be the worst case, and living in the Catskill's Area maybe a factor. They send all the data out of area to be checked and the Doctor works in local area only 1 day a week, rest of time travels to other area's. Down side of living out in the country, but all in all is good.

Tech told me it normally takes 6-8 weeks for the results, is this normal? Seams a long time to me; glad the Lab sent me home with a new Mask. When I had the 1st in Florida seams it only took 1-2 weeks.

Hard to say. My First lasted 10+ years, old Insurance only replaced it if was non repairable. I retired and got a new Policy and I got a new machine, as the old one was still working I put it into storage .

CO2 Reading has leveled off at 31, in Florida seams I bounced from 32 to 23. But I sleep about 7 Hours and wake rested.

I useta have a light snack maybe a sandwich with meat before I retired. That was when I Dinnered about 5:30PM, now it's about 2-3 Hours before Bed so I don't want that lite snack before Bed.

Actually between 7-8 Hours, the machine tells me 7.4 Avg.

The new Altitude adjustment of 1500 seams to be helping, I'm not tired in the morning anyways. Hopefully the next Blood Lab will show something it will be two weeks after I change some meds I start themas soon's the new RX's get processed, a week to 10 days. I have the old meds to last for I get the...
