Remember those idiots I told you about? This doctor is one of them. This same doc also told the OP that he could get data off the System One model 250 in that showed him how many apnea events he was having and we all know that model machine only shows hours of use. He flat out lied but OP was willing to forgive and wait and he didn't have to the funds to go the self pay route and tell the doc to go to hell.Miss Emerita wrote: ↑Tue Nov 24, 2020 11:42 pmStill mystified why he isn’t prescribing a machine that can vary its pressure during the night. But at least this will take an SD card, which is good. Keep us posted.
OP is lucky to get a machine that offers data at all.
I wasn't happy about the likelihood of getting the Pro either but at this stage of things....it's certainly far better than what he has and the Pro does offer some limited trial apap mode capabilities if we really need them.
Not everyone just has to have auto adjusting mode available to get good sleep and good therapy and even if we have to tweak things...we can do it in fixed mode if we have to but it just takes longer.
Back when I first started therapy there were a lot more fixed cpap only mode machines being prescribed. In some instances it took an act of God to get an apap capable machine. People were managing with fixed cpap...it can be done. It's not necessarily ideal but it can be done. Now they are more common but there was a time when apap was a rarity and people managed. It can be done.
Some docs still won't prescribed them as they don't understand apap mode and they don't want to learn.
