yes, if someone tells me where to look for it, i will post it. Last night was a bit better. I bumped the pressure up to 13 and my wife never woke me up saying i was snoring, but that doesn't mean i didn't. I am just thinking she slept through it.

First of all, it is not your DME that will write another script … that is what the doctor does -- the DME simply fills the doctor’s script.

If your profile is correct, you don’t necessarily need a smart card or software to get data from your machine. Check to see what machine you actually have … M series “plus” or M series “pro” or M series “Auto”? As long as it is not a “plus” you should be able to get the data from the LED read out on your machine.

Finally, don't get all fixated on the snoring ... if the wife is having difficulties sleeping with your snoring, she can use ear plugs. The more important thing for you to focus on right now is treating the apnea ... snoring is secondary.

I don't understand ... if she does not have ears for the ear plugs then how can she hear you snore?

You mean there is a card we can read? I'm not sure my machine has that but I'll push some more buttons tonight and see what pops up! My wife told me I was snoring last weekend, but I found a small tear in the mask and I woke up several times with leaking problems (face farting). Put the medium sized mask on and slept through the night for the first time since starting CPAP therapy. What a wonderful feeling!

its an M Plus and that is all it says. None of the choices in the readouts on the LCD show any of that information. I could be looking wrong though

jhallon,
Go back to Dreamstalker's note... oh and fix your profile. According to your profile you have an auto, but it appears from your last post that you have a Plus. A Plus reports no more than compliance, won't give you AHI, leaks or anything like that... for that kind of info you'd need at least an M series PRO (if you stick with M series).
