Interesting thing.. I went to see my sleep doctor today (He's an ENT with a sub-specialty in sleep medicine, and also a good friend) and talked to him about a number of things. He looked at my Sleepyhead printouts and he had some interesting comments about them, my pressures and interpretation of my sleep study. It looks like I had been reading it wrong (me?). According to it, which Im reading it correct now, I give the following CPA pressures, minutes of sleep, and AHI:

0, 132.2, 37.3
4, 24.7, 18.9
5, 15.5, 30.0
6, 21.9, 0.0
7, 31.5, 9.6
8, 26.6, 19.0
9, 26.4, 4 .7
10, 38.8, 6.4
11, 55.4, 2.2
12, 28.9, 0.0

I had zero events at 6cm and at 12cm. He said let's take another look at this. He said I could try two things: Leave my pressure to 6 or 8-12, or go 4-6 and he wants me to try that first. The lower pressure, if it works, will let me sleep longer and better. He also had me fax him my latest blood work as he thinks I may have some thyroid problems even though my GP say's they're ok. I trust the guy, he's very respected around here. May be a point there too.

I would tolerate the lower pressure better IMHO. I'll give it a try..

sorry, I'm struggling with this message...it says I have something in this email that's not allowed....I hope it works this time. I gotta get this cpap stuff to work like it's supposed to.

Back to the problem. It says my email address is in use. It will not allow me to fill it out. Obviously, I forgot my previous USER NAME. So, I'm stuck. There's no one watching this board who can help ??? I may never have an account name on this website?

What Im seeing in this is two quote messages in the beginning and only one in the end. In my old programming knowledge from days of your, you may have an improperly terminated item there as it may want another "quote"..

Thanks, but the problem is being able to get an account in my name OR to get the user name I used years ago.
That way I won't get lost in website hell. Anyone out there know how I can do it?

Again, when I put my information in my profile, I everything is fine until I asks me for my email address. THEN it says that email address is already being used. I didn't realize I already had an account here (it's been a long time) and secondly I don't have another email address I check regularly to use. I'm stuck.

Thanks, but I have a GMail account linked to my YouTube page and I can't get into it (LONG story and very complicated ... I may have to talk to the people who help Gmail users. Do you happen to know who they are? It's been a thorn in my side for three years now. I'd use another email address but I already have two others that I use all the t... WAIT...I just thought of a solution!! This website won't let me use DD, the name I'm using now, but that's okay... Thanks for your help! I'll try yet another time!

Oky, this message is for you. I may have solved the problem temporarily. Someone on the site will be helping me with it. Thanks for your help.
