Hmm, he can try to go to File, Preferences, Appearance and turn on Pie Chart if it it's not checked. If I'm right Mark you owe me a fix to show pressure changes on the Statistics page! If I'm wrong, well I tried!

Thanks Dori. I've already got that turned on. I get CAs mostly, so it is usually a pretty purple pie chart, with a sliver of blue thrown in on some days.

I'm definitely not changing anything. I've got some irritation on my nose, but I'm just putting Lanisoh on it and hoping it goes away. Because I'm not inclined to change anything at all. Ever.

I'm not in the slightest competitive about any of this. I love reading about others' success stories. The ones that are most encouraging are the ones where people have started having to slog uphill at first, getting used to the machine and mask etc. My story is a pretty boring one. I'm grateful, but it is boring nonetheless. For some strange reason it just seemed to work for me. Luck of the draw, I suppose.

I got moved to the front of the line for my sleep study in part because my neurologist suspected my apnea was responsible for a break thru seizure; my epilepsy had been otherwise well controlled. So honestly, I'm not trying to get to a magic AHI number, I just want to be able to live seizure free. And knowing that uncontrolled seizures mean I cannot drive is a hell of a motivator. The CPAP pretty much HAD to work. And I'm glad it has so far!

Question,

Are your epileptic seizures grand mal and do you expect the CPAP treatment to stop them? Are they during the daytimes also?

One amongst the most interfering nudniks posters. Assume for a moment that I could help.

Thank you; I consider myself less curious and more compassionate.
Some would do well to remember why we are here.

Brag away! If I ever see a reading of 0 for my AHI, I'll brag too!

You are lucky to have the exact right therapy for your body. More power to you.

I also get the "?" where the pie chart usually is when my AHI is 0.00. It happened 3 days in a row last week, and I thought the machine was stuck until it gave me an 0.3 on the 4th day.

It might just be a Qt plugin for the .GIF file format got left out of the SleepyHead installer/package. What type of computer/OS do you have?

Avi... consider this... no one knows when you are going to go off in a tangent, or you really have informative information to share. So, most people don't even bother to answer questions you ask. You did this to yourself.

I'm using the latest SH build for Windows running XP. I'm migrating to a Windows 7 machine in a few weeks so once I install & migrate SH files I'll see if something changes.

That's great Randy! You're entitled to some bragging rights too!
