As has been pointed out, over a few nights the percentage of time you are spending at the lower setting is decreasing and the upper settting is increasing. I'd be curious if this levels off or continues.
I'm curious, too, Gary. I know I've been saying I'm going to give each experiment a full week, but with the little patience I have (and the pressure pattern that's pretty obvious from this run at 11-13cms), I think five nights' worth of data is enough to go on to take the next step.

is that like an "ex- husband," or "ex-wife?" lol
There was a lot of animosity at the end of our relationship, so yeah. If you have the time (or the inclination), you can read all about the "divorce" in this thread, which concerns the last AutoPAP trial my ex-doofus ordered for me in April of this year:

I know you want to take it slowly and are watching for centrals which is the way to go, but I still think it may be time to make a change. I think it is 5 nights of data you have now, which tells pretty much the same story, as I read it.
Thanks, Hawthorne. I agree, so I'll up the max tonight and run from 11-15 for my next test to see how I fare with those settings. I handled 14cms fixed pressure with no problem, so if I actually do get up to 15 occasionally, I should be okay with that (provided that centrals aren't triggered).
Thanks, everyone.
Veni, vidi, Velcro. I came, I saw, I stuck around.Dx 11/07: AHI 107, central apnea, Cheyne Stokes respiration, moderate-severe O2 desats. (Simple OSA would be too easy.
