Bilevel moving backwards

[skcampbell2]

I seem to be moving backwards with my Bi Level.  I do use a soft cervical collar and even tape my mouth.  I experience severe dry mouth and have to continually work with the humidifier settings.  Its hit and miss if the the water tank goes dry.  However here are a couple of current session screenshots.  Any advise would be much appreciated.  My settings have been 10/20 PS 5 this has worked since receiving forum advise.

You appear to have the Positional Apnea pattern with Apnea event clusters. Also there's some high leaks that need addressed.

Links to wiki for these.

Your flow limits are too high. I suggest raising your PS setting to 6 instead of 5. That's what I had to do to get mine lower.

Thanks for the input. I do all the things needed so I thought. I wear and have worn the Soft Cervical Collar. I tape my mouth closed. I go to bed looking like Hannibal Lecter. I know my mask leaks are increasing, not sure why. I have worn this mask for years. I have raised my pressure support to 6. I was steady for months at 12/20 PS 5. I guess I will continue to try all suggestions. Dam Apnea can be a real pain. Thanks.
