Re: Please help me interpret what I'm seeing

I"m replying to my own post here. I can't figure out how to get the image to display, and the one time it magically happened, it was too small to read. I apologize for being unable to do this! I think I'm giving up on trying to get any input on this.

Re: so frustrated!!!!

When I posted the address between the two img thingys all I got was the words/link. This is becoming a lot of work. aargh. thank you for trying to help!!!

I know I'm not terribly computer savvy, but I didn't think I was this idiotic. I absolutely CANNOT figure out how to post my SH data. Uploaded photobucket, cannot get screen shot to work....AAARGH. Sorry, had a terrible night last night and found out this morning on my way to work that I have out of...

Re: need help interpreting data!

Thanks, Pugsy, Jeepers, I wish I could figure out how to copy and paste that graph so you could see it. It seems like I'm in large leak territory a fair amount of time, but again, if my apneas are relatively low (which they seem to be - am I right?) maybe I should just not worry about it and keep an...

need help interpreting data!

Hi, everybody! Inordinately proud that I was able to actually figure out how to get into my machine stats!!! Unfortunately, that was about the end of it for being able to post it here. I was able to copy this: ResMed S9 AutoSet Mode: CPAP 8cmH2O Date Sleep Wake Hours 9/22/2013 18:58 04:16 09:18:04 A...

3 nights in I'm leaky!

Hi, everyone - I want to bring everyone up to date with my progress so far, but I also wanted to repost a reply I had put on an earlier thread on Friday - knowing how tricky it can be to have a good experience with a DME (and especially Lincare, it looks like!) I wanted everyone to know that so far ...

Re: Tomorrow is the big day!

Rich - I have had very good service with my Lincare. My PCP put me on supplemental oxygen for a few months after my oximeter test, knowing that it would take awhile to get through the sleep studies, get the machine, etc. So that was my first interaction with Lincare. The one I use is about an hour f...

Re: Tomorrow is the big day!

You guys all rock - thank you!

By the way, is it a mark of getting old when you're more concerned about the "cheat codes" for your cpap machine than you are for your video games?!?

Re: Tomorrow is the big day!

Heh. I bow to your knowledge, enlightened one aka chunkyfrog. But seriously, do I need to sweat the recent-ness of manufacture on the unit and humidifier? I'm on the 10 month-paytillithurtsandthenyou'llownit plan. Thanks, Sheriff! During my titration night I tried nose pillows as well as a nasal mas...

Re: Tomorrow is the big day!

Thanks, Chunkyfrog! I'm definitely getting the auto set; per everybody's recommendations here, I had the sleep center write a specific prescription DAW - and I have my very own copy!

Tomorrow is the big day!

Tomorrow afternoon I pick up everything from Lincare. Thanks to this forum and everyone's wonderful advice, I'm getting the S9 and the heated humidifier with climate control. Anything I need to know before I go in for the fitting? Final advice or warnings? I know that the S9 is a new machine, but I ...

OK - what do I do next?!?

Newbie here - I've been lurking (a lot!) for a couple of months as I've worked my way through the 1st sleep study and then the titration test. Got titration results today from sleep doc. Had zero episodes (down from around 22), my oxygen was "perfect", and the tech told me I had the fewest leaks of ...
