Last night was the best I've had sleeping yet. AHI 1.97 and very little leakage, Tv 440.
I did notice on the exhale while I was conscious that there was a stoppage of the exhale. Could that be the OA events? It is like the device blocked the exhale flow. I only see a four of those after I got to sleep...
I adjusted the Max IPAP to 15 and set the Flow Rate chart to -80/80 and attached...
I think this mask is the answer. I made sure the collar was solidly under my chin and tight enough to keep me from dropping my head. Seemed a little uncomfortable at first but bearable.

Your respiration has fully normalized and your event rate is low other than the one cluster. I think you've found what you need to make this work. Note that apnea cluster at the beginning of the night arises from a low pressure, and I think you might increase the minimum pressure a bit. Your median is about 11.4/7.4.

I'll bump it up a little at a time and see how it goes...
I sent these charts to my Pulmanologist this morning. I'll see what he says about them and let you know...

With your AHI under 2.0, I don't see a pressing need for increases unless you see that pattern of apnea at minimum pressure continue. You've come a long way. I suspect your doctor will be happy with that.
