Results are in!

Post by hawaiimom » Wed May 22, 2013 4:42 pm

Finally got results, 20 days after study. AHI=8.1. Results came in while my friend the RT/DME owner was setting me up with equipment. Took a short nap and tolerated it ok, will see what happens tonight. Likely to use my new wireless SleepPhones over the headgear and some music that I know will help me fall asleep more readily.
