I feel better when I dont use my cpap
Been using cpap for 9 months. I don't feel any improvement in fatigue since starting. My doctors just say my AHI is low so nothing can be done.

The leaks might be an area of disruption that might be interfering with rest. Take a look at the mask primer and see if there's any pointers to help.
Secondly, have you used standard response instead of soft?

I just replaced the nasal pillow part. I have had varying levels of leak with no difference in energy corresponding to the leak, that I can tell. I’ve tried a lot of things from the primer to reduce leak and haven’t had any consistent improvement in leak either.
I’ve played around with constant pressure, autoset with soft and standard, and autoset for her a little bit. I mostly leave it on “for her”. I haven’t noticed a difference between any of the autosets but I can give the standard another try for a longer period.

You still snore and have flow limitations, so your therapy is not effective enough. The pressure is not high enough, you should increase your minimal by at least 1 and re-check.
