Exactly. My 30 day was a review of my graphs from the initial sleep study. The 2 things I brought up he brushed off with an incorrect explanation. So once I saw he was just checking the blocks I decided to not waste anymore time with him. At the 1 year follow up, I am hoping to email him the data and not have to waste time going to the appointment.DreamDiver wrote:I can't fault your consideration. You are likely correct for the majority of sleep doctors out there. Some doctors probably view the data coming from the machine as little more than toy data. But if you happen to be that rare patient who has Cheynes Stokes or some other rare breathing disorder without knowing it, AND you have that also-rare doctor who actually cares and happens to see something in your flow graphs and orders sleep tests that end up changing your prescription to a more suitable machine, having good high-res data could be life-changing.[/b] I say, why not up the odds for better treatment[/b]?Lizistired wrote:I think I'm missing something. I don't think my doctor cares about high resolution data. I just really don't think he is going to look at individual apneas, much less care that it is skewed.

You have to be persistent!
I have been using a CPAP machine for more than a year even though I was diagnosed with CSA and CSR. I never felt I was getting better even though my DR insisted that my OSA was well controlled. It was like she couldn't understand what I was bellyaching about.
I have had an ASV for about three weeks now with mask problems for most of that time. Despite that I think this machine is what I need and it sounds like you need it too!
