Well, I've been "self-titrating" for the past 6 days, one more night to go before my appt with my sleep doc.
Here's a summary of my past 6 nights, followed by the last two nights of detail, followed by a chart of daily stats since the beginning of October. Would appreciate any feedback, along with questions to ask my doc. Seems like my numbers are good irrespective of my pressure settings, almost like my body adjusts to whatever I set the pressure to. As to how I feel? Well, I feel better now than I did pre-CPAP, but I haven't experienced nirvana yet, and so I thought I was on the path to get the sweet spot. But maybe I don't have a sweet spot, and I'm just chasing my tail.
As far as masks, I am currently alternating between the Fit Life FF mask, which irritates my chin, and leaves my teeth sore, and the F&P FlexiFit HC432 FF mask, which irritates the nose bridge.
Your numbers are marvelous. Some people are excessively hung up on numbers. The "0 AHI" is not important. As long as it is less than 5, you are NORMAL. As I said, you could fine tune the spread on the autopap so it responds slightly more quickly, and I think your doctor and I agreed just about 100% on numbers. But, you are doing fabulously.
