I speak to my Sleep Dr. in a couple of weeks, what can I say to them to get on the path for a Vauto? Is there any small tweaks I can try in the meantime that might help? I'm guessing not but I'm getting desperate here.

Feel like the Walking Dead!
I'm guessing it's still the flow limitations that are the issue but the past few nights/days have been truly exhausting. I can't concentrate, fighting to stay awake during the day, headaches, dizzy and just feeling like a total zombie.

RE: Feel like the Walking Dead!
What was the result of your use of a soft cervical collar?

I don’t know for sure but I was looking for a possible reason and everything else looked good.

I will see if it happens more often as this was the first few nights I've seen this since I started back in January. I think using too many pillows can cause this to happen as well? I like sleeping on lots of pillows.

Yes, a stack of pillows may cause Positional Apnea. Try to minimize the stack and see if it helps.
