Last night, I had my son home on leave from the Air Force. I checked on him while he was sleeping, like I used to do when he was a child. I listened for snoring and watched to make sure he was breathing, just like Momma's all over the world do. He is fine, thankfully.

Derick, I hope to be using your software someday if I can convince my insurance company to buy the auto or at least the pro 2.

Rested Gal!! Oh My Goodness Girl! What a treasure you are to this forum!

Thank you for the information you provide and the obvious research you have done. You are making me feel more in-control of my treatment everyday.

Everything that I have ever done is a pale imitation of what I had in mind...

I am running 15.5 cm, and keep track of my data. I think turning C-Flex off on APAP and thinking it results in lower AHI is flawed, being on APAP anything you do to the machines settings affects how the machine responds. So you are actually changing more variables, more or less comparing Apples and Oranges.

If the machine was set to CPAP then the results might be valid. I started at 3 then moved to 2, I saw no change in AHI until i increased my pressure, every time I've upped my pressure I have lowered my AHI, last month was 0.8 at 15.5 cm at C-Flex 2, I am now running a test at 16 cm at C-Flex 2. I feel that more improvement is unnessary, but we must always strive for better.
