Thank you all for your input. It's nice to know that others share my experience.

I think I'm going to leave it on CPAP at my titrated pressure (9) for a few weeks, then try a week or two in APAP w. a range of 9-12 and see if it gives different results.

See, that's why I trust him - he's so very very careful. And you always know if he's sharing his thougts which have been known to lead him astray, or reporting his knowledge...

Michael,

One other thing you might consider is to manually adjust your CPAP pressure upwards, 1 cm at a time, for about a week at a time, and see what that does to your numbers (rather than using APAP mode).

Best wishes,
