dancing a happy dance!
A few weeks ago I switched from a nasal mask to nasal pillows. This has turned out to be an excellent decision for me. I downloaded my data from last week and I had my best results ever.
Averages for the week:
AHI - 0.6 highest AHI - one day at 1.2 and lowest AHI - one day at 0.0!!!.
PB - 0.1%
CA - 0.4
OA - 0.0 !!!!!!! 7 days in a row - 0.0 !!!!
Hyp. 0.2
RERA 0.4
large leak 0.0%
large leak 0 secs
My diagnosis is severe OSA. These results are especialy amazing to me since I had to travel for work last week and spent 4 of those nights in a hotel room with roommates.
I can't believe how well this mask is working for me. I am keeping my fingers crossed that it keeps up.

Roommates? Yikes. I get along with my colleagues, but I'd not be allowing such an invasion into my personal life and space.
Regardless, that's not why you posted.
Congratulatulations!

Re: dancing a happy dance!
Sharing the room is not my preference either but unfortunately, that is the way the company does it and since I don't want to spend my own money to pay for a separate room........
I'm trying to look at it as an opportunity to educate my colleagues about SA.

Dude, that sucks. If you were a woman, that wouldn't happen. And yes, that makes it discrimination.
But if you can live with it.

1. I wanted to point out that she is a woman o I hope she doesn't have to share a room with men or I agree that should be an issue.Roman Hokie wrote:Dude, that sucks. If you were a woman, that wouldn't happen. And yes, that makes it discrimination.

Oops. My bad. Please forgive me. Did I miss that in your little avatar info box?
Regardless, uh, yeah.

thanks everyone!
Roman, don't worry about it, using a picture of my cat as my avatar does make it more difficult.

Yeah, but if I'd have looked for the little pink "F" under your location, that would have been a simple thing on my part.
Thanks.
