BleepingBeauty - So, just to confirm...since i don't think my machine has any data about my mask, I actually need to subtract roughly 25 to 36 from the data in my charts to account for the intentional flow rate to get my actual leak numbers?

Hi Folx, Have been reading through the multiple years of info in this thread. Saw an ENT today and he feels I need septoplasty and possibly turbinate surgery. Need to figure out how to determine when someone really needs turbinate though the septoplasty is obvious. My septum blocks almost the entire...

I rent the machine so I don't how the cost of buying, but so far I really like the Fisher & Paykel SleepStyle 254 Auto CPAP Machine with Built In Heated Humidifier. I got a copy of the software from another user here (struggled to get it completely working so I would suggest asking for an original C...

elg5cats - I am impressed with the software and the data it provides. This should be standard (or at least offered free of charge) for every cpap machine. Without this data, I would honestly have no idea how I am doing (like, when I take off my mask - which I do almost every night) and how bad the l...

Thanks for the suggestion John. Yes, I have much less apnea on my side than on my back but almost always find myself on my back in the end (even when I used to sleep on my stomach). Thinking about options to help keep me on my side for the night.

Hawthorne, Thanks as well and a big thanks out to the the two folx here at the forum that got me connected with the F&P software. It sure does make a huge difference in being able to understand what is going on when you are asleep. This seems like it should be a requirement (easy access to seeing yo...

Bleeping Beauty, thanks for the quick reply and feedback. I really do appreciate it. Unfortunately, my natural circadian rhythm is a late night one. I usually get to bed between midnight and 1AM and up between 8-9AM. That's huge improvement over the past both in actual time in bed and when I am able...

I know it is early in the life of my cpap usage (9 days) but I was fortunate enough to get a copy of the analyizer software and want to fully understand what I am looking at and trying to achieve. I've provided some of the overview data / charts and the info for some of the specific days (one's wher...

Okay, so, after posting here that I could not make it through the night with the mask on, I went to bed a little later than usual (1AM) but and this is a huge but, the mask was still on at 7:30 AM when I woke up for good. Several times during the night I did indeed wake but managed to keep the mask ...

Thanks for the quick replies. I am definitely going to stick with it for at least a month to see how it goes, but am certainly hoping (and expecting) that I'll be able to make it through the night without waking up. I did at the sleep study center but really need want to just lock the mask in place ...

Thanks for the putting this introduction together. I went to click on your first link and it appears that it has been moved.

[Update below in a follow-up message...] Hi everyone, I'm a newbie. I just started using a SleepStyle200 HC254 and ResMed Quattro mask last week. I have mild to moderate sleep apnea and it's been set at 6 to 11. I used to start sleeping on my stomach every night but then almost always awakened to fi...
