I have never used IMGUR but just created an account, uploaded the 3 Oscar reports as hidden or private so I hope this works:

well done, you!

now, i have a question regarding imgur...i seem to be only able to post one image at a time. how do you post multiple image with one link?
people say i'm self absorbed.
but that's enough about them.

I had never used IMGUR in my life till today. Once the account was created it seemed one could add one image at a time or alternatively add a group of images at once.
Once done, there was an option to create a link which I did, & I tested it before posting here. I'd set the images to hidden such that only those with the link presumably can view them.

Not sure if this helps, but I didn't really jump thru any hoops to create a multi image link.

regards
Bob

Don't feel bad. I don't know how he did that either but then when I drag images to imgur to get them there I really haven't explored any other potential options. Maybe one of these days when I don't have anything better to do I will maybe explore that feature....whatever it is. :lol:

Just a follow up to my F30 issues. From all of the replies I learned of positional apnea and found my AHI dropped significantly when I slept on my side vs back.

The reason I even tried a full face mask was I having ongoing leaks, dry mouth with the nasal N30, even though pretty good results (1.5-3.5 AHI) and figured
it was due to my mouth opening at times when asleep.

The two times I had tried the F30 I had horrible results but I was back sleeping. So last night I figured I'd try it again but side sleep.
The resulting difference is stunning (to me at least) AHI of almost 30 dropped to 0.7, all from just changing my sleep position!

I never would have figured this out without the input from people on this forum, Thank You.

da-yum! that is most impressive. stay the course and let's see how she goes. this could be a "one-off" as we human beings have a tendency to sleep differently each night. but let's hope this is a trend.

good luck!
