DoriC wrote:Update on aflex/cflex question. Strange, but last night I turned off cflex completely, kept everything else the same, settings at 11-15, no ramp, and he had the best night so far. 90% = 12, Leak Rate=45, No LL, No mask indents. Only difference is he just slept 5 hrs then took mask off and slept another 3hrs. He says he doesn't know why he took mask off at 4AM, just used the bathroom, nothing was bothering him, the Dailies look great, so I'm left with nothing to go with as to what caused him to remove the mask. I guess I 'll never know why, but just have to look forward to longer nights just as good as last night. Thanks for being there for me.
This is another example of how different things work for different people. It helps to have a machine with more options, but then to be able to experiment with different settings/options to see what works best.
Smack him upside the head for leaving his mask off.

Then I'd have to come live with one of you, and I don't think you'd like that, would you???

Well,
I'll smack him upside the head, then.
