Welcome. Sorry you had to join us.
Don't worry, you don't sound like a very unusual case.
Unfortunately, many of us have frustrations with the medical mafia, but many of us have figured out how to manage our own apnea. Luckily, the ResMed S9 AutoSet is a good, top of the line machine.
I bet there's a good Aussie phrase equivalent to "medical mafia," but I'm not sure it should be posted here.
LOL about the ʇɹodǝɹ dǝǝls uɐᴉlɐɹʇsn∀.
Relax, hang in there, get your PC fixed, get SleepyHead and start tinkering. You can probably work it all out on your own with some effort and some help here. Looks like your numbers are a lot better than they were before CPAP.
Sometimes, even if the CPAP is right, it takes a while before your body and brain adjust to actually breathing through the night. It's a bit like stopping cigarettes, booze, or drugs. Your body adjusted to the way things were and needs to get back in "balance."
