Why can't machine be 100%

Yes, RG -- that was my wording, because I couldn't remember his exact wording. I struggled with how to word my interpretation, knowing that overreport is misleading. I've only seen him 3 times, and I have a little trouble with his accent (his English is excellent otherwise). Along with his need to keep things moving quickly (and my lengthy list of questions) I can't really take notes quickly enough.

I also have a little trouble with his handwriting...I think he noted "omoperazole" on an Rx pad for me, but in checking Google, I've seen 3 or 4 misspellings of what I think is supposed to be the generic name for Prilosec (omeperazole, omeprazole, etc). I'm going to check with a pharmacist to see if that's how he or she interprets it as well.

Anyway, thanks for the followup. I haven't changed my machine yet, but an R/T is visiting on Monday with a new mask. I think he will probably insist on changing the machine because that's what the Rx, along with the order for the new mask, says. If I detect anything different, I'm going to change it back quickly.

There are several reasons. You have physical defects that cause you to need a cpap in the first place. Cpap will improve your life a lot but there are a number of things envolved. Not just air pressure. A good ent may suggest fixing some of your problems to improve your situation. The machine can't make you brand new. It's a bandaid.
