Thanks Pugsy! To be honest, I purchased the VPAP used at the recommendation of someone on this forum. then I uploaded my data from sleepyhead and various people here told me what adjustments to make. Is OSCAR better than sleepyhead? Thanks!

Hey guys! So on the invoice the model says: Airsense 11 Autoset model 39000. It includes the humidifier. $767 seems to be the total price. My insurance deductible is $1500 and I haven't met it, so I have to pay for the whole machine. I have Kaiser insurance and they are contracting with Apria to pro...

Hey Everyone! I need some advice. I've let my sleep apnea go untreated for long periods of time and I finally had a new sleep study done and they said I had around 34 episodes per hour, and prescribed me with an Airsense 11 machine. Apparently there's a huge backorder on all cpap machines and I'm lo...

Coulda/shoulda/woulda...not much we can do about the past but we can try to make the best of the future. I try to use my energy for things I can fix now....and try not to dwell on coulda/shoulda/woulda stuff because it causes unneeded stress and worry and there's not a damn thing I can do about it ...

Well, I got a full 8 hours on the machine last night, and my AHI was only 3.5!! I took your advice and changed the PS from 4 to 3. I'll post a link to last night's data below. One think I noticed was a CA that lasted almost 30 seconds! Is that something to be concerned about? Thanks all!!! I'm thin...

Pugsy - you know what is really scaring me? I had untreated/undiagnosed sleep apnea for 10 or 15 years. The unknown damage I've done to my body is a scary thought

I think the easiest way to attach a screenshot is to upload it to a service like http://imgur.com/ (it's free) and then you'll get a bunch of links for various formats. Just copy and paste the link that says "for forums and message boards" into your post.

hello all! Well, I managed 6 hours on the machine last night. Let me clarify - I'm not having a problem adjusting to the mask or machine, it's my crazy schedule for the next few weeks. I work until about 9:30 or 10pm, drinking a cup or three of coffee until as late as 8pm. Then by the time I can fal...

I can't thank you guys enough for looking at my data and making those recommendations, as well as providing explanations that make sense and ease my anxiety about playing around with these settings. You have restored my faith in humanity!!

Thanks for the advice, I'll try it tonight and see if it improves. May I ask why you guys made those specific recommendations? Thanks!

Ok, I finally have data! It wasn't a good night, with only 4 hours on the machine and a lot of "events". I'll post the screenshot below. Any advice would be appreciated!

Sounds good! I'll post data from tonight!

I've noticed one thing already - I've been dreaming vividly each night, remembering the dreams in detail. I can;t even remember the last time I could recall a dream in the morning. That has to be a good sign, right??

Finally made it through 7 hours of sleep with the mask! BUT - I forgot to put the SD card back in the machine so it didn't record the data! Ugghhh.

Anyway, how many nights of data should I have before I post some screenshots?

Thanks to all of you!

Unless you have some chronic nasal issues there is no reason to not try a nasal pillow mask if it interests you. If you end up mouth breathing with it and it's a problem the software will alert you to leaks big enough to be a problem and then you can cross that bridge IF you come to it. You may not...
