I'm not sure how to read the Maximum/95thPercentile/Median data. For the month of January, the summary data is

12.00
6.00
0.00

Is that good?

I'm not noticing a lot of leakage during the night, but there are obvious spikes when I reach in to itch my nose or something.

After some initial trouble (for a month or so), I've made it to six months using my machine every night. I rarely pull the mask off anymore, AHI levels have gone way down, but I still get about 8 or so hypoxias a night. I STILL fine if terribly difficult to get up in the morning because that's when ...

I'm with Bleeping Beauty -- If I want a fragrance (sometimes lavender) I put a drop on a piece of tissue near the air intake. I might try eucalyptus, now, since I sometimes have a stuffy nose.

I forgot to mention that my Elite II arrives on Monday!

I just ordered the reader, software, and card from cpapaustralia.com -- I have faith that by the time it gets here I will have a new machine that will produce some data!

I started CPAP two weeks ago and it just happened to coincide with a particularly stressful time at my normally stressful workplace. I've found that during the "start-up" phase of CPAP, my overall tiredness level has gotten worse and stress at work has turned my usually low-key self into an angry an...

I'm getting ready for my fifth night! I've kept the mask on all night so far. Not even close to success, though -- headache first two nights then "no headache but no restful sleep either" the past two nights. I'll keep it up, though, and first thing in the morning I'm seeing my dr. to get him to cha...

Do I understand correctly that Resscan is no longer available for purchase in the US?

Group, Which software provides the most useful output?

Ah, I'm only one night ahead of you! Both nights. so far, I've managed to keep the mask on all night but have gotten headaches both nights. Last night (the second night), my nose kept clogging up even though I cranked the humidity up quite a bit. Also, last night, my mouth breathing woke even me up!...

I've been reading posts on this great list since I got my diagnosis last week. I got a copy of my sleep study report and it doesn't seem quite as detailed as some I've seen posted here, but the basics: AHI=61, Desaturation index 80 (lowest o2 saturation was 80%), Arousal Index=45, prescribed cwp=8. ...

Total newbie here -- I've just been diagnosed with severe apnea (AHI of 61) and am going for my first mask fitting tomorrow. I've got a mustache and goatee and really don't want to shave them off. Based on input from this group, I'm going to for the Mirage Activa or Activa LT or Mirage Micro. Any la...
