EPAP: 15.00 TRYING 12 TONIGHT FOR MY OWN REASONS
What were those reasons? Is 12 your birthday? Lucky number in a fortune cookie? Dartboard?

Sorry for not being more clear. As I mentioned in a previous post there is someone with knowledge of sleep apnea trying to help me. They have quite a bit experience with advising, just not a lot of experience with the ST-A. I have been unable to find someone to help me with enough ST-A experience, this is why I thought I would join this board with the post title indicating I need help from someone with ST-A experience, etc.

It was suggested I set my EPAP back to 12 to see what happens with events and such and then proceed from there. I am open to any help from people with ST-A experience.

Well IMO you should be a little more forthcoming about the advice you're getting. Otherwise you get RS1 saying turn stuff up, while Sleeprider saying turn stuff down.

Perhaps load that Titration Report to dropbox or Google docs or take a screenshot and load it to imgur.

I did mention early on I was getting other advice, but as I had mentioned then, I didn't want to step on any toes. I apologize. Do you feel I should stay on the one forum and see what happens there? Or perhaps between both I might find some good solutions?

That's your decision.

Meanwhile, load up that titration report and put your data on SleepHQ. Can't tell a lot in SkyLab View.

FWIW IMO SR is going in the right direction. Your settings look insane for what you're trying to fix.

Thank you, again I apologize for any confusion.

Regarding SleepHQ, what is that?

And what do you mean my settings look insane for what I'm trying to fix? Do you mean the settings look out of whack for getting my breathing patterns, waves corrected as best as possible?

Sign up for the free account, you can put the whole night's data in a link for all to review.

The settings are out of whack, the machine is out of whack, and if you have CompSAS-- well, you might not even have it anymore.

You got a lot of stones to turn over.

Phew, all cool with Sleeprider. I just promised not to make any changes he didn't suggest without telling him if I had avice to make changes from advice here. I believe the right thing is to keep you guys apprised as well.

I have to go to work now, but maybe tonight I will figure out how to get the titration report posted. I tried SleepHq but I didn't see a way to post the titration report. The other services you mentioned ae also a little confusing. But I will keep trying to find a way.

Thank you all!

I plan on buying my own ResMed. But not sure when. First I want to see if my rented one through my DME via my insurance works out well.

Great! I am so relieved that he'll be able to review our suggestions!

Keep your powder dry.

Very shortly, there's going to be a big demand for "well-read patients".
