From: mirkee on 19 Sep 2005 18:06 I have been on CPAP for 18 years now and very happy with it. I use my cpap every night of my life. I just came back from a two day fishing trip out of San Diego CA and took my cpap along. Two weeks ago I had a sleep study done. This was done because I wanted a newer machind and the insurance insisted that I have a new sleep study done. I had been using a pressure of 11 on my last machine but the new sleep study tech wrote on her report that I needed a pressure of 9. Now my wife tells me that I am snoring at a setting of 9. On the sleep study, the titrations stopped at nine and they never tried 10 or 11. On my old machine I used to be able to set my own pressure. Initially, the old sleep study called for 10 but I found that unsatisfactory (snoring) and I cranked it up to 11. I have been at 11 for over 5 years now. I want to be able to adjust the new machine on my own, like I used to do with the old one. If I am not able to, I'll just go back to the old machine which would be a shame since the new machine is so much smaller and quiter. I have been on CPAP a long time and I am quite responsible. My regular doctor will give a prescription stating that my pressure setting needs to be increased. Unfortunately, that entails another trip to the cpap people which is a pain in the neck. Can anyone here help? I saw the tech set the pressure and it seemed so simple. Thanks in advance, Mirko
