* REMEMBER, my initial AHI was 38.4!

You're plateauing out on your upper limit. I believe that I'd raise your upper pressure limit to about 18cm and see what happens.

Yes, or perhaps even higher.

You still have quite a few clusters. Reading your past posts, you said you could not tolerate the soft neck collar. You mentioned the help of the pillow to stop chin tuck. Does this ensure chin tuck is prevented through the night? Others have mentioned using a rolled towel between the chin and the chest.
I have found that the collar improved the problem for me fantastically but I understand not all can tolerate it. Basically you will probably know, as we nod off, our chin tucks in to close off our airways. To start with it was strange but it is comforting now to me to know that I will get restful sleep with much much reduced events with this simple device. Its not something they tell you in sleep clinics more sleep centres.
Your events are coming down but you know you can get better and others have made pressure setting suggestions.

Maybe in the future Ill entertain the collar thingy but for now sleeping in a certain position prevents chin tucks. Ill raise the pressure and see where it goes. Who knows, maybe raising the pressure will build up in my neck and force my chin to raise! LOL

Please review my data, but keep in mind for the past 2 weeks I've had severe allergies. I would concentrate on previous days.

Just saying, it's hard to concentrate on previous days with one chart, and no link to previous threads. It helps to keep therapy in one thread unless there is a major change.
To me, you look like a candidate for a soft cervical collar and bilevel.
RE: Please review - trickyneedsleep - 05-07-2018
I have several charts on there, do you only see one?
RE: Please review - Sleeprider - 05-07-2018
Tricky, there are many charts on the page I saw ranging from AHI mid 2x to mid 8x. That is a huge amount of data to digest, but the overall theme is hypopnea, flow limitation, a bit of OA and very little CA. With a pressure of 14 to 18 I think bilevel is a better and more comfortable solution. I also think you 'd do better with a Resmed Airsense 10 Auto set than a Philips, but given a choice I'd get a bilevel Aircurve 10 Vauto or BiPAP Auto. Bilevel pressures could clear up the events in a way CPAP can't. How do you feel about the therapy. It looks a bit marginal to me, but you're sleeping with it.
