I had my one month followup appt today. Brought a few of my Sleepyhead graphs. I actually met with a nurse rather than the doctor. She was really impressed by the graphs and said she'd never seen anything like them before. She thought maybe I was an engineer since I brought graphs - ha ha!
I talked to her about how I'd changed the minimum pressure because my mask was leaking when the pressure rose. She was so happy and told me no patients had figured that out before. But I clarified that I didn't deserve the credit, that it came from this online forum. She was very impressed. So, thanks to you guys for being knowledgeable and helpful. I don't get another appointment for a whole year, which seems crazy to me. So, I'm thankful to have this group to come to when I need some help along the way.

My one month would have been last week. At this rate my one month might be next year (after 6 months of PT).

MaxINTJ: success yes, in terms of getting good numbers, using the equipment, etc. Still waiting for any sign of energy coming back, however. That part is very frustrating.
