I have repeatedly voiced my dissatisfaction with Apria, BCBS, and most recently the
dietetic "service" at St. Elizabeth/CHS locally. No one has deleted any of these posts,
It was probably an accident. DME's and manufacturers have no voice here.

How long does it take for you to fall asleep?

Of course we're way OT right now. And anything further said would land us both in . . .

I don't think she's baaaad.

She's just making a point about you jumping this thread, asking a question that has no real answer, and has been posted about many times.

Answer: After you get your treatment set correctly, it takes what it takes. The main thing is to stop the damage from getting worse. Jim

To do that you need a machine with a steering wheel (full data) and the software to read the results.
Use data to optimize your xPAP treatment!

The "clinician's" manual is like a steering wheel to me, where the data is more like the WINDSHIELD!
NWIH am I going to drive blind!

That AutoSet you have, k_ogre, was a great pick. I used one for awhile. It's fully data capable, has more than one mode of operation and, with help from the folks here, it can be used to determine the best pressure setting for you if that's something you want to check. If you're interested it that or have other issues to talk about, now's the time to bring them up. The right people will jump in depending on what your topics are.
