That AHI of 0.8 is excellent.

Snoredog, Can I get that Neil med stuff at a local drug store? How is it different from the saline sprays that I have been using? Gary Gary, if any OTC spray you buy contains anything more than simple salt and water you shouldn't use it. In addition to salt and water many have a preservative, but t...

For your pressure, your leak seen is pretty good, you are only averaging 51L/m for 18 cm pressure so that is pretty good. What is your PS setting set to? From your report, it looks like you are using the default as pressure support never exceeds the machine minimum of 2 cm's. The may be from the pri...

#2 Snoredog & SWS - I will see what I can dig up in the patent re BPM=AUTO as what SWS is saying is what I have also said in the past (cycling is the exclusive mechanism for central dysregulation) BUT, I am sure I read in the patent that when it detects a pattern of periodic breathing and the machi...

SnoreDog!!! SHAME on you! Keep this up and we're gonna have to trade you in on a goat and shoot the goat. We don't need to know who you are putting on your "S" list. LOL you just can't handle brutal honesty can ya? Does anyone know if there is a limit to how many you can add to that list? I tried t...

um Gary, you don't want me to pull up your very first few posts here as a newbie where we tried to warn you about that do you? Even though I only have about a half a brain left due to the effects of 2 strokes, I do have a good memory. If I recall correctly you disputed our suggestions of not using A...

Spamming isn't considered a post someone doesn't agree with so when the majority of people who click to report spam because someone is abusive or they don't like the post they get that privledge taken away What constitutes a majority? Here it only takes one person to report a post as spam to have i...

Snoredog- Are you talking about setting my CPAP to 10 instead of 12? Right now I have it set at 11.4 and woke with very good numbers this morning. I know I must be dense but I STILL do not understand why the APAP does not respond to apneas above 10cm. Why even use the darn thing if it will only res...

I still think your EPAP needs to be lower at 9.0 cm. EPAP=9.0 cm IPAP Min=13 cm IPAP Max=19 cm Seems like we are thinking along the same lines. I had already set my machine to 20/19/12 for tonight. I will go with 13 IPAPmin instead as you suggest. Will leave BPM=Auto for tonight as I don't like to ...

I have been having discomfort in my lower throat for some time now. Yesterday went to see my local ENT. He scoped my throat and found a small sore spot (nodule?) on my Epiglottis. He felt this was a result of GERD. Great something else to deal with. Have I mentioned lately that I hate Sleep Disorde...

yep it works great, I added ozij to mine and now well I no longer have to deal with her PIA targeted BS, now if she would only add me to her foe list we can completely avoid each other which would be fantastic in my eyes. Thanks to your posting of instructions, she should be able to figure out how t...

I bumped up IPAPmin last night by 3cm. Since the hypopneas didn't seem to respond could those remaining events be central hypopneas? (which I don't really understand) I did end up sleeping an usually long time at these new settings. The longer sleep could account for increased events, bumping IPAP ...

The bluntness is quite honestly okay, Snoredog. So you can see above that I expect to get things wrong. But with absolutely no sense of malice, and in that same spirit of healthy bluntness, I have to say that you have also gotten very many things wrong over the years. It's not just us. And when you...

BPM=4 is 15 second breaths, 7.5:7.5 I:E Well, I think with a max IT=3.0 seconds (as you correctly mention in the next quote) that 7.5:7.5 I:E ratio is impossible on this machine. So I take it that ratio you mentioned was a 1:1 reference of equal-distribution. Okay, I follow that part. The above was...
