Early2rise, that must have felt so good to be in control of the situation and not let them take advantange of you or even waste your time arguing with them. You should be very proud of yourself!! CruzTerri, I'm in the same boat as you. My doctor is clueless regarding cpap and apnea, and the DME only...

Thanks for the replies. I'm stumped too. Rested gal, I'm not at all congested now...breathing through my nose just fine, so I know it's not that. I wish it was something that simple. Pugsy, I am showing a ton of clusters. Does that mean something? My pain level hasn't really changed. Some days are w...

I started CPAP in January and have faithfully used it expect for a few nights where I couldn't breathe through my nose due to a sinus infection. I adjusted to it pretty well and my AHI was anywhere between 1 and 3 up until about 2 weeks ago when my numbers starting going up, one night even to 20! I ...

No giving up allowed! You've put six months worth of work into this and you can't turn back now!! Even though you aren't feeling better yet, you have to think about where you would be if you hadn't started cpap. I know it's frustrating and exhausting, but you can do it! I'm wondering with your user ...

Pugsy, you didn't ramble. You were very helpful! No, it doesn't look like the leaks went up at all during these events. My display shows what the humidifier is set for, AHI, leaks, total # of hours, and average hours/night. I've only had 2-3 nights where I have been over 5 on the AHI and it was 6 an...

Liz, no software. I've just been going with the info given on the screen. This is the first I've seen the details. Pugsy, makes sense...although I had to read it twice for it to sink in, but that's normal for me! I wish I could post the reports, but I only have my printed copy from the DME. I can te...

I got my first data report today. Good news is I was 100% compliant! Bad news is that because my insurance doesn't require compliance, I wouldn't be contacted for them to check my data. The DME said I was doing good because my AHI was under 5. Overall, I'm pleased with the results so far (just under...

I contacted F&P expressing my disappointment in not being able to purchase the software. This is the response I got: Thank you for contacting Fisher & Paykel Healthcare. I'm sorry that we are unable to provide that software to you. The reason is because we are not licensed to sell any of our product...

I am in the same situation as you. I have the F&P Sleepstyle 254 which is data capable too. However, without being able to purchase the software, that doesn't do me much good. My doctor wouldn't even write the prescription for auto, so when I bought the machine, the DME had to set it to cpap. I chan...

Laura, you went above and beyond to help this person. Not only did you complain to the house manager, but you were kind and generous to take her mask home to repair it with your own supplies and give it a much needed bath! Although it angers me to think of this lady not being treated right by the st...

Kahfree, You are doing a great job adjusting! Even though you need to increase the hours used each night, I saw that for # of days device not used was a big, fat zero. So, good job for putting that mask on every night!! It sounds like you had a good night with the Swift FX and I hope that continues ...

About 2 weeks ago I went in and changed my machine to auto mode and have been able to get a little info instead of no info. My AHI has been showing between 3-5. Lowest was 3 until last night when it showed 0. I'm happy about that, but I didn't have the best sleep. My mask was moving all over the pla...

Does anyone use the PerformanceMaximizer software?

Hi Madalot. I'm new here so I don't know the conflicts between people and really don't need to. I read your post yesterday morning and it touched me. I carried it with me all day and I really wanted to respond to you, but didn't really know what to say. So, I'm just here today to say that I offer my...

avi123, yes, our results are very similar. I hope you can get that AHI down. You mentioned withdrawal from Ambien? What does that consist of, are you just not able to sleep or are there other symptoms? I would like to stop taking it and was hoping I could with CPAP, but honestly it's the only way I ...
