Check this out- 6 days of feeling good -AHI less than 3! I switched to cpap pressure 16. I am close to my sweet spot. Maybe I'm there...

Excellent... another triumph for patient power....
It is possible to go too high and have the AHI head north .

Hi readyforsleep,
CONGRATULATIONS.! Now that you are close to your sweet spot, maybe you should wait a week or two before you change anythings and watch the data. Keep up the good work.

Good job Dude Girl, this is such an improvement over what you had before. I'm very happy for you. Good job..........
I don't think I'd do anything for now. Just ride the wave for awhile. The flow limit still looks a little trippy, and that might smooth out if you went to the 15-17 thing, but your CA's could increase as well. So for another week or so I'd just stay put.

Crash. Last 2 nights 5.5, 8.8. I knew it was too good to be true. I'm not going to get excited until I have a month of good data. Stay tuned
