AHI was 2.3 last night!

Post by jilliansue » Wed May 04, 2011 8:12 am

I was happy to note this, but have no idea why it varies so much. Maybe that is "normal." As I am now able to see more data, perhaps I will note a pattern.

Previously, before I had a card reader and software, all I had were the 6-month reports my DME printed out for me, and the average, summary AHI numbers looked good. Once I learned how to see the AHI and AI on the machine's screen, I was able to see how much variety there is in the AHI.

Thanks to this list, I can monitory my therapy. This is a steep learning curve indeed, but I am "enjoying" the climb!!

Congratulations! I'm commenting only because I noted the pillows you are using - Swift FX. My first two weeks with those were heaven but shortly after they began to leak badly - same pillows - same machine - same pressure - same ugly face. Punch line = new mask. Hope yours stay as they are and you go even lower on your AHI's. Good luck on the curve!

Good work. Glad you got the software and can see what's going on now.
