First night- now some questions??

[Ugly]

I had a good first night!! so glad I stayed strong-because of info here- and kept pushing for the AutoSet!! Thanks so much

Hey that rocks. Congrats.

I never saw the new perscription for the Auto from the dr. (who talked to the DME and wanted to know why I wanted the Auto in the first place- the DME fought for me!!), so did he maybe have to set it at 7-20?

I would hope they had an obligation to set it to the prescribed pressure. Perhaps you can ask the doctor. My set pressure was 7-14, for example.

2) should the EPR be set on?
3) What is smart start and what should that be set at?

If you find it beneficial to exhale towards a lower pressure, then try it. I've tried various settings and the other day I just turned it off. Each person is different.

And Smart Start. That's an interesting and helpful gimmick.
Put your mask on and start breathing into it. This starts up your machine. Take your mask off and the CPAP shuts off after a few seconds. I find it really helpful instead of reaching half awake for the power button. :grin:

Good second night, sometimes I wondered if the machine was really on!! good #'s too.. But, today my neck really hurts like I was sleeping on it wrong..
..off to get a SD card reader for my computer, download Sleepy head and learn the next steps...
Thanks for all of the help, and encouragement..

I too get a stiff neck at times, but it's better than waking up dead.
