RE: 18 mths of apap: need help optimizing settings to feel better
Sheepless, because you have switched machines and are doing a multi machine analysis, could you indicate on the 1st line of all your posts what machine and the key settings please. I say this because as soon as you change your profile, you change it for all of your posts losing the history.
thanks

what do you think about splitting the vauto posts off to a new thread starting with post #197? something like 'vauto, plm, fl & mixed apnea'. or whatever mods think. cross linked.

good idea, it is in the works and adding ASV to the original title.

my guess is they're deferring to the title I suggested. I don't really care much about it one way or the other. I don't mind if uars is added and it won't hurt my feelings if mixed apnea is removed. but if pressed, I'd say while it may end up being an uars issue, my history has been central apnea evolving into mixed apnea, and so mixed apnea is currently more relevant to me personally. afaic, it's up to the mods to determine if it's worth the effort to add uars.
last night's charts to follow shortly. mper, I assume you want me to continue showing charts for a while until you have enough data plotted (or instruct me how to do what you are doing with the data). I'll keep using the vauto and posting charts daily until you tell me differently please.
