Possibly what Krelvin was trying to say. Your stats say you are 100% compliant. Do I have this wrong? Do we have you confused yet?

Correct.... No he didn't fail, Yes he is compliant according to the report. Forgot his original question was did he fail.

Hi,

Thank you,

I am closing this post and changing over to my simultaneous post: "Am I failing compliance"

The statistics report has always read: 100% compliant, even when I stopped tx completely for about 12 days in December d/t a severe sinus infection, so I tend to ignore this comment on the statistics report.

I always felt compliant because I knew stopping temporarily was correct due to the severity of the infection and I also knew I would be able to achieve the compliance goal related to days and hours once I was better.

My confusion occurred when the MD Office on Thursday and the DME office on Friday acted as if I was noncompliant even when I told them I would have achieved this goal today which is well within the 90 day rule. This issue is important to me because I need the insurance coverage in order to continue therapy.

My disappointment is in the MD not advising me on achieving therapy efficiency to see if I could feel better so I appreciate your help and will make the suggested setting changes tonight and post daily graphs, etc in a couple of days after I have adjusted to the new settings.

Thank you very much.

Here is a statistics screen shot.

Sorry it took so long but now that I have all these instructions and an understanding of how to get from here to there I should not have so much of a problem.

If anyone thinks they can help me by my posting daily screen shots please let me know and I will.

I do not get the same statistics as Sonnyboy is displaying. Is this because he's using a PC, and I'm using a Mac? I also followed the steps in the link that was contained Krelvin's post, PM'd the results to myself, and was unable to view other than the screenshot size which was small to begin with. I even selected 'large thumbnail', and image was small. When I clicked on Sonnyboy's screen shot that displayed his statistics I was plagued with adds. I'm sure there's a pop-up blocker somewhere I'm not turning on. I feel dumb making this post. While I'm older in years, I'm not computer savvy I suppose computer illiterate fits me better.

apw5746,
Just keep trying. You are way ahead of lots of people. I haven't even been able to talk my husband into trying to learn.
When you go to that message you PM'd and right clicked on it, then clicked open in a new window. does it enlarge enough to see. If it does that thumbnail will work.

what do you get when you click the statistics tab on sleepyhead? there should be no difference in the display between mac,windows, and linux, it's all the same code.

a small thumbnail would be smaller.

a thumbnail picture isn't what you're supposed to look at, it just gives you a idea what the full version looks like.

try krevlins instructions again, it's easy to miss a step.

one of the bad things about photobucket is the ads.... that's on sonnyboy for picking that.

Just did all the steps again. I selected linked BBCode (message boards), and it worked. I was using message boards and forums before. Seems to work. Still attempting to get the statistics page Sonnyboy displayed in my first post. Thanks PR. Especially alleviating my frustration level. Things do work correctly when proper procedures are followed

Or, to test entries, you can paste them into the composition window that comes up with "Post New Topic", "Post Reply", or "Compose Message" and then select "preview" to see how it will look. Just don't select "submit" before navigating away unless you actually want to post whatever it is.

To see the code used to post a picture or manipulate text, select "quote" on the user's post of interest. Again, just navigate away if you don't want to post anything.

Show us what you get. That page should come up when you "view statistics" in the center of the SleepyHead welcome screen or when you select the "statistics" tab at the top of the screen.

Photobucket does seem to have a lot of pop-ups lately. Most of them will close. Be careful not to click on the "update media player" pop-up. It will load mal-ware on to your computer. It has a "hide" tab that works.

what are you getting when you hit the statistics tab?

palerider wrote:what are you getting when you hit the statistics tab?

good accidents do happen. i'm proof. this is the stats i was talking about. in mac sleepyhead v0.9.2 this is what's displayed.



haven't uploaded for a couple of days. will post a graph shortly, then you all can chime in.

here it is.



am I surviving?

If I have this right, you've dropped the pressure support from 6.0 to 4.0 and had a much better result. Looks like the right path to me and it wouldn't surprise me if you could improve by dropping PS a bit more. I'd hold on the current prescription and see if thing stabilize at this improved AHI, and in particular CA, then consider making small incremental changes.

the only difference I see is that you're using a positively ancient version of sleepyhead. the current one is 0.9.8-1, you're on 0.9.2.

Will I lose any data if I upgrade?

others have reported success, but you might want to get some mac folks to weigh in, especially about whether you should go to 096 first or not.

Newer versions read and use the data from older versions which on a Windows computer is stored at My Documents/Sleepyhead. The new program creates a new folder called Sleepyhead-testing and does not overwrite the old data. This has the effect of creating a backup. You won't lose a thing.

It's not a bad idea to occasionally backup your SD card by copying the folder containing the sleep data to your computer or a backup media. If you backup your computer (you should you know) then the Sleepyhead folder data gets backed up with the rest of your documents.
