That's very helpful. I totally agree with you as far as how far I've come in a short period of time. It's very good to know I'm at a safe AHI. It only took us a couple of nights to get to less than five AHI. It has been hard for me to sleep through the night, but then, that's an old habit. Maybe in time. I'm willing to try anything you might suggest, including moving to the one of the other modes to see if it there are better settings that will drop my AHI. That includes raising or lowering pressure settings. I don't believe I gave that a fair chance, because a good night's sleep became more important. We are of the same mind when it comes to keeping this exact setting for a while. I see what you mean with all your ups and downs. I got a new SD card reader which fixed the import problem. In just a minute, I'm going to sent last night, separately. By the way, the next three nights might be useless as far as data because I'm taking care of my daughter's dog's and I'm mildly allergic. Enough to disturb my sleep.
Oh...I have had very slight problems with my left nostril getting plugged up completely and a kind of weird scratchy throat, plus other things that would create an AHI reading twice as high as before with the same settings. My environment wasn't perfect. Maybe tonight will be better.
Good. I slept 13.33 hours (too long afternoon nap plus a very long nights sleep. According to Phillips dream mapper, I had 100 percent mask fit, my AHI was 4.5, 4 CAA, 39 OA, and 18 Hypopneas. I would hate to lose all that info that's in the SD card I can't download. I'll get creative and figure something out with it once I start getting benefits from this current auto bipap setting. When I feel like doing things, from being better rested. It hasn't escaped me that this rest I'm about to be getting is mostly due to your insight into a science that baffles medical professionals.
Okay. I've been very tired lately. I'm going to leave the machine at 9/11-biflex-1. I slept fifteen hours total yesterday. I'm gonna take a couple of days off of experimentation to just leave it on that setting and be sure to get some sleep. I'm very interested in seeing if I can continue to bring my numbers down, but I know now that I have the machine to the point where I can get a lot of good sleep and I need that right now. I'll come back and attack the rest of this sometime later this week and I'll be more clear headed, and maybe less manic about it.
I went back to the Dreamstation and couldn't find anything to indicate a way to lock the sd card from the Dreamstation. The card is lockable by using a slide on the card. Could it be that only my provider can lock it and that he has done that? Not sure why he would do it, but I've looked all over for it and can't find anything.
Yes, thank you! I saw the word locked on the computer and wondered what it meant or if I had been there the whole time. I'll go check the machine.
I was moving the AHI up, just to have pressure, leakage and AHI together, since I was comparing them. I will go back to normal before I send you anything again. When I went to 10 Ipap, AHI went to 4 and I couldn't stay asleep. Same thing with Ipap at 10.5. Unfortunately, I can't get SleepyHead to download anything, so until I figure that out, I'll use the much less reliable dreammapper that just gives you almost nothing, but, at least it keeps up with the three AHI fields. Hopefully, I can fix it today. I have another computer, I can download the software on. I ended up back at 2.1 AHI after I returned to ipap of 11 and kept epap at 9 with bi-flex at one.
I know that report is not correct. I moved some graphs around to group pressure, leakage and AHI together. I'll put them back.
