Re: CPAP Therapy Analysis & Settings Advice..please!

Curious what you would recommend I focus on trying for this situation. I can post OSCAR results if needed but wanted to get the question out there first. Please start a new topic/thread of your own and don't go posting your stuff in someone else's thread. It's considered bad form for one thing, rud...

Re: New to CPAP/BiPap - living at High Altitude

Sounds like you have things covered and that your doc and DME are both being cooperative. (Time to celebrate! ) As my Dad always says "It isn't over until the Fat Lady Sings".

New to CPAP/BiPap - living at High Altitude

Sorry for the long first post - a lot of details to cover. I live at 8400' in the Colorado Mountains and will be starting BiPap very soon.
