You are absolutely right about that...You remind me of a spoiled brat that doesn't appreciate anything that's done for you.
I think everyone should drop you.

then stay off the forum....
It takes a SPECIAL kind of person to snark off and tell the MODERATOR to 'stay off the forum'.

I appreciate my doctors, my APAP, sleep study teams, but not the people on this forum that like to talk over your head and not keep it simple.

Any of you guys willing to list all the reasons people are getting sleep therpy?

Obstructives are not 'low' at 15... low would be less than 3, pref. 1 or less. You need to post graphs etc. according to Oscar's info - download it (see top of page) and we can tell you what's what much more usefully.

I have two lap tops.... It's on both now. I just downloaded it but can't explain how I did it, don't remember How. It's was strange why I just couldn't click on the link from pugsys newbie page.

I was between laptops at the time.

Compared with your previous graphs, you've raised the Min from 6.5 to 7cm. Seeing some clustering of CA's, and PB that weren't like that before. Then there's a lot more VB, so maybe you're just awake a lot in this night. I'm curious if this is an effect of moving to a new bed, congestion, possible meds you've taken to combat congestion. More hypops, more CA's.

How many nights consecutive have you been at 7cm? If yesterday's and/or the previous were also 7cm, could you post those? Any other changes to settings besides raising the Min to 7 from 6.5cm?

Your first two hours, it appears your minimum was 7.5, then changed to 7. Did you change it?

The two hours where the minimum pressure appears to be at 7.5 appeared much better than the remaining part of the night, where it was at 7.0. Were you awake or asleep during those first two hours?

I set the minimum to 7.5 for a few minutes, then back to 7. I was uncomfortable at 7.5........ But I had a tough time sleeping in our spare bedroom. Plus landing on my back. Chinstrap cam loose a few times too. Bad night. Set back up in our room. Should be fine tonight. Will post tomorrow.

Just checked my machine.... minimum is 7.... has to be a ramp up.
