fwiw- my sleep doc says anyone with OSA has UARS.

Unfortunately medicine hasn't reached a consensus opinion of UARS just yet.
I don't think that reality is a reflection of who is or isn't doing their job. It's a reflection of where contemporary medicine happens to be with respect to discovery and understanding IMHO. Or the way I like to think of it: UARS is medical history in the making.
I think cyclic alternating pattern (CAP) analysis may well become increasingly important in the understanding UARS.

They haven't gotten very far have they? I remember us discussing the same thing like 8 years ago on that other board

1) Do you have a data capable machine? The big potential problem with self-titration is that too high of a pressure can sometimes create central apneas, which is a serious problem indeed.
Could you explain what "central apneas" are? I've never heard that term before. I have just recently raised my min pressure as I have a high AHI level (13+), but don't want to create new problems either;)
Thx,
