It's innately obvious that if your AHI is 0.8 that your apnea is CURED.


Dang.  If apnea is cured at an AHI of 0.8... I'm so very, very close to being cured.  I'm not able to get much below 1.0 AHI though.  That illusive, illusive 0.2 is standing between me and a complete and utter sleep apnea cure and keeping me from being able to tear off the octopus attached to my face on a nightly basis.

This thread is proof that even insurance reps are included in the "medical mafia" but this one desperately needs to go back to Medical Mafia School TM   and at least learn how to fool patients with some degree of believably.

For a guy that runs an apnea forum you sure have an old ticker of a machine.  Your insurance must be lavishing you with excess benefits befitting of a cured guy.

In this case, the older one is better than the newer one. Grin
