Hi folks! Don here. I have been faithfully dedicated to my Sleep Apnea treatment for the past 20 yrs. It has taken me that long to realize that I need to get proactive with my care. I need HELP! It has been nothing but one disappointment after another regarding sleep studies, therapists and cpap supply providers. I am done. I clean and take care of my equipment 100%. Daily compliant with my sleep for years. Started with a CPAP as most and within a few years was put on a bi-level machine. I am currently using a new ResMed Aircurve 10 V Auto BIPAP that replaced my old machine (same model-warranty covered) because of inconsistent readings and strange noises. I recently had a sleep study and have a full report. I have been connected to Oscar and have my most recent data. I am ready to make a new start with someone that understands how cranky we can get when you reach this point. But putting the crankyness aside...I am at most times a leveled headed, kind, well mannered guy. But the nonsense and BS I have experienced lately and in the past needs to stop. I could use some help and a cpaptalk friend bout now. :) .... I am going to scan my recent sleep study report and also recent OSCAR data. What is next for me? Thank you for this forum. Looking forward to moving on to a better place.

Welcome! You're doing all the right things to make a fresh start, and once we can see the sleep study and a typical Oscar chart, we can try to offer you help. Onward!

Thank you! Hope I am doing this right.

There is so much to this story. Really tough for me to write about it. Test of my patients.

Looking forward to a better place.

Some people here are reluctant to open zip files using links from people they don't know. Could you use an image hosting site to show us the sleep study and a representative Oscar chart? Lots of people use Imgur, if that works for you.

I'm sorry to burden you with more work when you're trying to get yourself out of a bad place.
