Re: If compliance is 4 hours is that all you need for therapy?

Elena, I feel for you, I really, really do! As we all know, dealing with CPAP (or any other version) is not a one size fits all type of treatment & as much as I personally wish that it was, everyone is different & only you know your body best!

Thanks for all the great info once again, I really appreciate it! I changed my CPAP to the Auto mode, changed the pressures min. 9.5cm max 15cm & this morning when I woke up the LCD screen said 10.5cm.

I was diagnosed w/OSA in late fall of 2008 & struggled for a long time with the process, feeling claustrophobic, taking my mask off, not falling asleep, not staying asleep, etc. Due to a v...
