Need Some Input

Post by Greenkat » Wed Aug 13, 2014 7:57 pm

Hello to Everyone!

I have finally figured out how to get on the board, download Sleepyhead & a few other tricks since May when I got diagnosed & found this board.

I was hoping someone could help interpret my data as I didn't think I was having any problems and compliance was fairly quick & easy for me from the first week. However, my data seems to suggest troublesome leaks with my nasal pillows. I feel better, more mentally alert & have been taking advice off the board about not drinking close to bedtime to eliminate 2 & 4am bathroom runs.

But the information I have gathered here seems to suggest if I have leaks then I am not getting optimum therapy despite a low AHI.

I have been on the machine since late May, but have not met with the sleep doctor yet due to insurance issues. I am scheduled next month & would like to have an intelligent conversation with him.

So any feedback would be appreciated! (plus permission to upload my info!)

Thanks!

Kathy

Welcome to the forum. You don't need permission to post your screenshots, so go right ahead and we'll see what we can see. If you need help with how to do that, let us know.

Also, please post your equipment and mask in your equipment profile. Different machines report leaks in very different ways, so it's important.

If you don't know how to post the images we talked about it here with some examples.

Can't attach. Reports must be hosted on the web then we link to them
Most of us just do images...the screen shot thread in my above post explains how.
