Good News Story
Just thought I would add a good news story re my results, I have been on CPAP for 6 months now and the first 3 months were trying but 5 masks later, I went to back to my local Sleep Centre today to get my results for the last 45 days. My AHI is down from 3.3 to 3.1, much better than 30 during my sleep study. My Centrals are 1.8 and Obstructive 0.7. My Leakages are down from 20.0 to 13.8 mainly due to my homemade hose lift. My average pressure is up slightly from 9.0 to 10.4 Just wanted to share this as I'm reasonably happy with my results and Kath has encouraged me through the early stages of me long journey, thanks Kath.

This is brilliant news Terry. Am so pleased for you and you must be feeling so much better in yourself now compared to before your diagnosis. It's also great that due to your perseverance you're now in a position to help other people new to CPAP.

Yes, looking forward to hearing your news too Robert. By the way, Terry's in sunny Australia and was probably sat on his patio in the blaring daytime sun whilst we were trying to keep warm in bed :D

Robert, Kath's right, It was about 4.16 pm on Tuesday when I posted it and it was a sunny 26c but I wasn't on my patio sunning myself, I was at work. Also getting too much sun is not good for potential skin cancer. I would be interested in hearing your results which are hopefully an improvement.
