I cannot get your url link to work for me. It takes me to a log in page for gmail.
It is not an active link but I did copy/paste it into my browser to get to the log in page.

If you use the link then use the URL brackets and insert the addy in between the brackets
and then your link should show up like a typical link...like this one to Padacheeks...http://www.padacheek.com/

If you insert the address within the IMG brackets you will see an image of your report after you submit your post.

". . . The sleep specialist adjusted my pressure to auto. . . . I do know that I don't have the gas pains since Thursday evening and I feel like I have been sleeping like a baby for the last 2 nights. That's why I'm shocked that my AHI number was higher than before the pressure adjustment and full-face mask. As for posting my charts to the forum, I'm not that computer savvy. I rely on my husband for the reports. . . . We're still learning what all these numbers & charts mean. . . . "
Hi ljyocom. I'm sorry not to have seen your reply post until just now. I'm pretty much of a night owl. But I'm happy to see that Pugsy has been working with you. Rest assured that she, and many others here too, are way, way more capable than I am at interpreting your SleepyHead reports and graphs once you or your husband figure out how to post them. Follow her instructions to do that. I did the same only a couple days ago to post a few photos and they worked like a charm. If you both continue to be stumped with that, send me a private mail (PM) and I'll be happy to work it with you until you succeed. Don't worry, you'll get it.

You have a lot to look forward to. The latest sleep specialist you consulted seems to have made the proper adjustment in alleviating your gas symptoms from how much more comfortable you are now. I'm also experiencing similar relief now that my sleep doc has reduced my air pressure. So I won't be surprised, once you talk with her on Monday, if you come back here to fill us in and tell us that when she switched your machine "to auto" that she also reduced the pressure for you. Your words that after she made the adjustment you wound up, "Sleeping like a baby," last night puts a great big smile on all of our faces here. That's exactly what we're all here for ourselves. So stay calm, see if you or your husband can post your SleepyHead report for tonight and last night, and have a great Sunday. Best, --papit

If you can get a working link to the image of your report from your forum message...I can fix it so it will show on the forum.
