This is while on CPAP with 3 liters of oxygen from a concentrator into the air intake of the CPAP

I didn’t even know that I had brain fog my entire life until I felt relief from it more recently

Thank you Gideon. I tried to buy the oxygen bleed adapter but couldn’t find one locally. Now, I see the supplier list and will order through one of those. I have the SD card but I only use an iPad so I have to get someone to help me out with getting the data.
Would you be able to suggest a DME supplier where I could buy an ASV PAP without a prescription?
After the incident at my mother’s house that I described above, my sleep schedule is messed up and only getting fragmented sleep during the day.

Here’s a report from the Checkme O2 Max oxygen monitor

Look for DotMed and search under Respiratory/Bilevel or use the search term ASV. The Resmed S9 VPAP Adapt or Aircurve 10 ASV are both appropriate choices.

Thank you Sleeprider! The Aircurve 10 ASV is on its way to a new life! For the machine and me!
RE: Born with CSA - Sleeprider - 09-28-2023
Glad to help. Let us know how it works out, and consider starting a therapy thread for the ASV. Be sure to have a SD card and reader available. Without data we would be really flying blind with the new ASV.

Wow! Look at the difference between these two charts.
The “bad” one is on CPAP with 3 liters of O2 and the nose pillow with the big opening under the nose
The “good” one is on CPAP with 5 liters of O2 and the nose pillow that goes into each nostril

A few changes that I’ve noticed since starting CPAP one month ago:
Depression has gone
I can type faster
Write faster
Pain in my lower right abdomen that I’ve felt for years has gone away
The sclera is whiter
Much more energy - a cup of coffee made me bounce off the walls for the first time in my life
More focused
Less forgetful
Can see things from a new perspective which has allowed me to see my own mistakes
Now understand why my life has fallen apart every few years - it was my only way to recover after non restorative sleep for so long
I have hope
