Nicely done.
I'd say 9 for a minimum, based on the pressure line and where you're having events.
Thanks! I'll try this for a few days. I do notice now that I am having events and snoring during the lower pressure times.

Follow the instructions in my sig to arrange your charts to provide what we need, then you can post a few days worth, since it only takes...

You haven't told us what your machine settings are or what machine and mask you are using.
Please do so by putting the information in your profile. That way, it will show up on all your postings.
Done! Thanks for telling me.

Just Now Keeping Mask On All Night, AHI Is Too High

Hi everyone, I'm fairly new to the CPAP game, and I've just recently been able to keep my mask on all night. I import my info into Sleepyhead regularly. Today it said I had an AHI of 5.92 which it said was not good. What can I do to improve this number? I tried reading the Beginners Guide Wiki, but ...

I think you'll be much happier NOT dealing with the DME. They are still probably processing your TAR.

If you do get a machine under Medi-Cal you will have a backup. Win:win.
I think so too! I already feel so relieved knowing I wont have to deal with a DME again. Last time was a nightmare.

Re: I Read The Guides, But I'm Afraid I'm Getting Horrible Support From Medi-Cal, My Doctor, And A Potential DME

Thanks for the tips everyone. It's been 3 weeks since my appointment with my primary through Medi-Cal. I've called several times to figure out why I haven't been hooked up with a DME provider, and they just keep giving me the run-around. I decided to purchase a used Respironics DreamStation Auto CPA...

I Read The Guides, But I'm Afraid I'm Getting Horrible Support From Medi-Cal, My Doctor, And A Potential DME

Hi everyone! I'm a new user here, and I have recently been diagnosed with OSA. I had a AutoPAP machine once before when I had private insurance. My DME was awful and I hated dealing with them. I had a very hard time adapting to the machine, and the company provided no help whatsoever. They also coul...
