APAP Pressure Range

And you, as a female, would you use this funnel:

Is that suppose to be funny? Sorry but it seems rather sexist to me and I don't much care for sexist stuff coming from a grumpy old man who has mysogynistic tendencies. Don't bother me please. I am not in the mood for a fight right now but my patience is worn thin from being ill lately so it wouldn't take much for me to put my gloves on and get into the boxing ring with you.

I don't know where this question from Avi came up but it's truly disgusting and offends me as well as my friend Pugsy! I've had enough and will be contacting the Admin personally.

Do leaks ever wake you up? Do pressure changes seem to disturb sleep? What is the AHI for this "last night but the best night"?

What are you thinking you might need to change in the APAP range? There's more to picking a range than just evaluating the median, 95% and max pressure numbers. Gotta look at the whole picture.

Reply,
In above posts you took over the titration study duty that you're not suppose to do on this board. It should be done only by an authorized sleep clinic. You are not allowed to please posters by imposturing as a physician which you often do. The OP did a sleep study but only years ago. You can't count on it. You are breaking the law in spite of your endless 4 letter words trying to please posters, as being sort of a folksy woman. Why not just skip replies and be correct?

Who the hell made you the judge and jury on here about what another person posts? This shit is getting ridiculous on here any more. I'm about ready to find another support board real soon.

Piss off!

Pugsy's advice, and the writing of other members, has helped me a great deal. I hope those here continue to share information.

Well....I am not going to get into another "debate" with someone who obviously has no common sense and just wants to pick a fight and a pretty idiotic fight at that.
Let him be guys...he is just a miserable old man who hates women...and seems like he especially hates me. I won't be losing any sleep over it.
He assumes that I don't have any fancy letters after my name to make my thoughts worth reading.
I really wish he would use his Foe list like it was intended to be used.

Edit...did Avi remove his tasteless picture and associated comments again? It seems to be absent and replaced with some other comments or argument I guess....
I think I am going to go hunt up my voodoo doll. Time to get to work.
Edit again...what four letter words?..I have tried to be a lady at least on public forum...crap is about the worst I say.
Now some four letter words that I have said out loud or thought...totally different story and I am guilty as charged.

Do you mean this post:+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

My question about your suggested pissing contest (see your post on pg 1),

Is the pissing contest with or against the wind? And you, as a female, would you use this funnel:



If this is tasteless then what about your 4 letter words spread over your posts?

Goodness, that really cleaned up things--why didn't I do that sooner?
I can still see the rest of you.

Yes, but if you had any of the following underlying medical conditions then an APAP or plain CPAP (especially with open maximum pressure) would be bad for you (even fatal):

COPD
Heart condition
Central Sleep Apnea Syndrome
Lungs breathing disorder

So most posters did not ask you about it but gave you medical advice about setting your machine, regardless.
