Sure - I had OSCAR set to my old needs - pressure wasn't v. interesting.
I wonder how you'd do with a minepap of 16? ...
Since pressure is so boring, it might not hurt to drop it a little, and see if it stays boring, or starts getting active.
Whether you want to do it tonight, or wait a few nights... that's up to you, there's arguments for either side...

Should I change PS to 5?

Re: Kate's Therapy
I'm saying "might"... sometimes more ventilation is better than more base pressure.. there's a lot of variables. So, I'm not sure I can explain the exact 'why'.katestyles wrote: ↑Sun May 19, 2019 3:38 pmYou can explain that to me after I get a good night of sleep.

It looks like you're close, at this point, you're just fine tuning, so, no, I wouldn't change multiple things at once.
either add more ps, or drop the minepap, just to see what effect it would have.

Re: Kate's Therapy
Nice!
One suggestion regarding your OSCAR reports. Take a few screen shots, focus on the graphs demonstrating pressure above 20 cm and pressure support greater than 3. Print them out on a heavy card stock. Bring them into the Doctor who wouldn't consider getting you a Bi-Level, and shove them up his ass.

Re: Kate's Therapy
So, how was this different than your normal sleeping?
I'd give it a couple nights, then try a PS of 5, just to see how you do with it.

Re: Kate's Therapy
Hi Kate, I have been following your saga and am absolutely delighted that you finally got your new machine and even better, that you are having great results with it. I hope to be following your footsteps the end of the summer when I will be seen at the Sleep Disorders Clinic. You were a great help to me getting set up on my apap and I am hoping there will be an ASV in my future too!

If you've ever made this statement here previously, I sure didn't see it!
