The reason I hesitate is that at the beginning Mike was very sensitive to pressure changes,even at narrow ranges, and did better on cpap but now the auto doesn't seem to bother him so we'll see what widening the range does. I seem to go along fine with his settings for awhile and then the "obsession" for a lower pressure overtakes me and the devil makes me try these experiments. I know if my good buddy Den is reading this he's probably getting a 2x4 ready for me! Even though I've been at this for 18months and have learned a lot, I've never actually been able to try the mask myself and have a hard time imagining breathing with a mask covering my face and all that perceived air rushing at me. I have asthma, COPD and sinus allergies(and a vivid imagination) so breathing comfortably is sometimes a problem for me. Thanks again.
Den......(ready with the 2x4)
