I fiddled with the settings per the guide for restrictive lungs and customized the Ti Max and Min based on my respiratory rate. I also adjusted the trigger to high and the cycle to low. I'm going to give it a try for a night and see how it goes.
hopefully, it'll help you!

I hope so! I changed those settings without changing the IPAP/EPAP for now. In my sleep study it noted at 20/4 that it eliminated all respiratory events (OA's, hypo's, etc) but that only at 19/4 did I achieve REM sleep in the supine position. I've been getting from 3-5 AHI's basically all from OA's, practically zero hypo's. We shall see in the morning
