Perfection

Post by shadowfx78 » Tue Dec 29, 2015 10:56 am

Well i switched back to APAP with a range of 8 t0 14. When I woke up this morning I had a bit of a surprise. I have found my perfect cpap pressure that allows me to have 0 events per hour and therefore 0.0 ahi. WOOT fixed pressure 10 here i come.

Congrats Shadow, well done. But a word... don't expect a 00 ahi each and every night, it won't happen, as long as you can stay below five you will be good. I get 00s maybe twice a week and 0.1 or 0.2 most nights and I have been at this for over 5 years

Again Congrats

Nan.
Started cpap in 2010.. still at it with great results.

if mine's much over 2, I can feel it, 5 may be "treated" in the eyes of the medical field, but it doesn't work for me, that's averaging some disturbance every 12 minutes, all night long *blech*

My doctor told me getting reliably below 6.0 was acceptable. :0/

Most of us expect a little more; maybe because we KNOW our numbers.
If mine gets above 1, I'm like, "huh? I don't feel that bad!"

Every time I see a post acknowledging that an AHI below 5 is not good I wonder how many people out there are not treated because of that magic number 5! I was at 4.4 (untreated) and felt terrible. Maybe people should ignore insurance companies. Units don't have to be expensive!

Remember the Red Ryder comic strip?
That had to be one of the early comic/commercial tie-ins.
Every kid wanted that gun!
I just wanted to be Little Beaver.

I got mine when I was about 5. I don't know what happened to it. Wish I still had that original one. But, I've acquired a number of others in the last several decades......the 50th anniversary edition, the 60th, the 70th and a Ducks Unlimited edition.
