Thanks palerider and zonker for the encouragement.
Looks like good progress to me.
It wasn't my most restful night, but I'm encouraged by seeing those AHI numbers drop. 2.1 is my best one yet.

Re: advice for settings
Alright peeps. I trimmed my beard down, making it a little tighter and lighter. Figured this would help the seal. I also further tightened the mask. Pretty sure I solved the leak issues. DME must have set AutoSet APAP 4 min/15 max a couple days ago. AHI down to 3.56 last night. I think we're making ...

Re: advice for settings
Played around a bit with the F20 last night, got a better seal. Don't have the oscar numbers on it, but, like everything, it looks like it's going to be an adjustment to get everything right. Seal was better last night than the night before which was better than the night before that. Got my AHI eve...

Re: advice for settings
you are most likely going to want to raise your min pressure. see how it's moving up to start battling your events? if aerophagia isn't a concern, you might want to start at 9 and i'm sure others will suggest even higher. similarly, you may want to raise your max. it's bumping it's poor head on 11 ...

Re: advice for settings
Full Disclosure: I've switched masks from a Dreamwear Full to a ResMed Airtouch F20. The Airtouch F20 leaks like a siv up against my beard, but feels less claustrophobic to me. It's much more tolerable and I've actually been getting decent (not great!) sleep with it. I can't really pull the straps ...

Re: advice for settings
Thanks everyone for the early help. Please find in-line graphs below. I have no idea which graphs from Oscar would be ideal of useful. stats.jpg overview.jpg I do know that I've been bumping my minimum/maximum autoset pressures and I was really hoping to see a corresponding AHI decreases, but I'm no...

Hi there, Sleep study showed Moderate Sleep Apnea, 23.8. Titration with 8cmH2O was able to get me down, I think, to 1 event per hour. I'm struggling with the straight CPAP mode, which was set 4.0 ramping to 8.0. I find exhaling against that pressure pretty uncomfortable. I essentially couldn't sleep...
