Cosmo,
Those leak numbers (lower graph) look fantastic, are you like that every night? How do you feel in the morning?

I'm not immune to leaks. I do get them from time to time.
I'm not fatigued anymore so CPAP has done its job of handling apneas.
But I don't feel energized. Years of fatigue has made me lazy and set on my ways. I'm slowly making adjustments to undo laziness and inactivity. Its a work in progress

Cosmo,
Those leaks still look okay. Noticed your pressure of 5-15, do you have to wear a chin strap at night? Ever tinkered with the APAP pressure range 5-15 that seems wide?
I have not used my Swift FT in about 8 months but last night tried it w/large pillows instead of the med size and the leak line looked great. I also eliminated ramp and the combination of the two did not give me the instant panic feeling of no air with the med size and ramp. Still a work in progress as the pillows are probably too big, but I squished them into place with the straps. Woke at 1:45 and my entire nose hurt, straps obviously over tight. Swithched to a nasal mask. Tonight I'll try to loosen the straps or try the med size.
