Here we go! Before finding this board, I was not at all thrilled about this. Now I'm at least a little hopeful. I've wondered why I'm so fatigued all the time for many years. I hope this is at least a piece to my health puzzle.

I received my equipment today, and just went through the myAir apps Test Drive. It got up to a pressure of 10.... My reaction was "That's a freaking lot of air!" I suppose I am a shallow breather after all.

Attached is my sleep study. I'll likely run with defaults tonite, but did get an sd card for it to see if I get any data out of it. Wish me luck!

welcome. you'll find a lot of helpful people in here.

sorry, i can't read that report and give you any info.

it will be suggested that you download and install OSCAR. it will track all of your data on a nightly basis. you can find links to it in the stickies, and a few of the more helpful folks will have links to other things, like how to post screenshots of your oscar data, etc.

the machine probably came with the standard 4-20 settings that most of them tend to nowadays. from analyzing your data, the folks here who have lots of experience reading the data will be able to make other suggestions (if needed).

you've come to the right place to get the most comprehensive evaluation of your therapy. even more so than most MDs will help you with.

good luck with your first night. hopefully you stick with it, and get some good restful nights going forward.
