Re: Low AHI, still snoreing

I really don't want you to bow out. I need your advice. I just don't understand you logic. The machine does not run 2 pressures at the same time. I start at 10 at night then spend the rest of the night at 14 after about a half hour. At 14 I still snore. So upping the lower pressure would logically ...

Re: A little help on my leak data?

Thanks for the responses everyone.

Great to have it confirmed that everything is going as well as it seems.

And for anyone else like me starting out with nasal pillows, Paw Paw Ointment is working out quite well for the sore nostrils (http://lucaspapaw.com.au/).

Re: Humidifier Water - Do You Dump Remaining Each Morning?

I'm only about 4 weeks into my CPAP journey, but I've already got a pretty good routine. I empty out each morning and wipe and dry the tank, it's just not worth the risk IMHO.
