Compliance

Post by Sleepy-eyes » Mon Dec 04, 2006 8:24 am

Well, I don't want to toot my horn too loud, but last night I was 100% complaint with my RX for the first time. I had some mask leakage I'd still like to address, but I made a full 7 hours of sleep with all my prescription settings. Hope I can do the same tonight. (pressure of 15 wasn't even a problem.........many thanks to wulfman for teaching me how to reset the machine so I could build up to my RX)

Now I'm off to the DME to make sure they gave me the correct size mask.

Sleepy-eyes:

Great news!

And another testomonial for the tremendous help we all receive from others on thie forum!

I'd still be fumbling - or worse, if it weren't for a number of generous and patient people here that came to my aid many times.

Hanging in here, Boss! I'll just have to keep peddling and see what happens. But last night was promising, I'll have to admit.

"Baby steps"......
(or, if you want to use the "peddling" analogy.....sounds like the training wheels are about to come off)

Sure hope so. I'm still waiting on my card reader so I can figure out what I'm doing. Hope I can figure out how to interpret the graphs.

Second night at 16 and did fine. Was experiencing leaks and while adjusting mask at 4:30am, I disconnected the mask from the forehead part. It was dark and I didn't want to mess with it, so just took it off and turned off the machine. I'll keep trying. Just wish my card reader would get here so I can start evaluating what's going on with my therapy.

Thanks rested gal..........for everything.
