So I read the mask primer and the leak wiki. I've opted to keep working with my eson 2 for the time being until I can get to the dme.
The last two nights my Large leak rate has been 8% and 6% rounded off. Based on what I read in the leak wiki this is pretty good. Obviously zero is best. It looks like my mouth breathing is minor enough. I did grab a cervical collar just in case but I am not sure I need it.
Going forward, what kind of range can I expect so see in my AHI before I should wonder if there are issues. I don't want to get all micromanaging. I know less than 5 is fine , less than 2 is great ,less than one is awesome and zero is perfect. At least I think that's how it works.
At this point my goal is only compliance and seeing the therapy is working.
Subjectively, I am sleeping fairly well. The mask, cpap experience are fine. I am not yet in the sleep like the dead stage but I am waking up super clear headed, energized and I seem to have issues sleeping for more than 6-7 hours mostly because I am wide awake and bushy tailed.
Before cpap I felt cheated unless I got 8-10 and woke up groggy and fuzzy. It's very clear subjectively that the therapy is doing wonders.
Data wise
Day before: .26 AHI, leaks 8% seems like a solid good night...
Last night: 1.86 AHI, leaks 6% most of the AHI was from clear airway
I've attached last night's sleepyhead.
Thanks for your patience everyone is helping a noob along.
