shouldn't have been any snafu between the clinicians. All it takes is to read the script.

You would think so.

As I attempted to pick my xPAP up from the same place where my sleep study was done, I took the opportunity to get a copy of my script for future reference. They checked a boxes next to both " Respironics System One Auto" and "Other". The pressure setting is "CPAP 12cm H2O",

ASM says they request the PRS1 Auto for everyone this way, but that I really don't need the Auto part as the doctor prefers constant pressure. The DME take this to mean that no-one really needs the Auto and gives them the Pro. Most people don't know the difference and the Sleep Center doesn't seem to care.

New user to the forum and just started CPAP therapy on June 14th. Had two sleep studies in 2012, first one was inconclusive since I did not sleep at all due to the staff talking loudly outside my room. Second one done at Cleveland Clinic's Sleep Lab which was actually at a hotel!!. Tech said yes you definitely got sleep apnea but I can't tell you anything else you need to call your doctor.

So I call only to be told by "someone" wish I knew their name. Once again they told me inconclusive so I never followed up. BIG MISTAKE. It is now 4 years later and I have Very Severe OSA of 120 AHI. Had a few recent trips to the ER etc. Finally for in to see a new Pulmonologist at Cleveland Clinic to find out all my issues are being cause by OSA.

Needless to say since starting treatment, I feel like a new man!! My AHI ranges now from 2.2 for 5.2. I have my pressures now set at 10-15. EPR on 2 and Humidity at 4. Thinking about turning EPR off to see if I get better results.

Would anyone suggest I leave EPR alone or go ahead and turn it off? This board is awesome by the way!!!
