Leak is great. Numbers will start to come down. What pressure are you using again?

TIP: consider adding your titrated pressure and current pressure in the comments of your equipment profile (User Control Panel > Profile > Edit Equipment [on the left side]).

It sounds like that EPR agrees with you! Plus you have the benefit of knowing your therapy is working from your data. That is a very impressive leak rate, especially for a full face mask. It must fit you well! You're doing great!

Yay!!!!!!
The AHI is moving in the right direction, the leak rate is fantastico......those numbers will undoubtedly improve as time goes on.....
Sixteen is a fair pressure, so paying attention to the mask and the leak rate is in order, but you're doing reallllllllllly well so far (leak rate looks great so whatever you're doing is working!!!!!).
Give it some more time, keep letting us know how it's going -- we love it when someone is improving, especially after taking control of their own treatment - you know you better than any doctor, RT or us will ever know!!!!

Keep at it Mama -- you're doing GREAT!!!!!!

Take care
cheers

You seem to be tolerating the pressure well, and more importantly, you are feeling the benefits of therapy already. You can't beat that.
