Yes I have. Although saying that it's only the once this has happened.
ok, just a word of caution, though: the airway/throat is a very dynamic, ever changing place, and just because you're getting a "set CPAP" doesn't mean that set pressure is going to be the right one for you all the time, or that it's even the right one for you now. it was probably prescribed based on one sleep study based on one night's data.... a good snapshot, yes, but i'd suggest thinking of the pressure you'll need at any given time in your life as more of a moving target than a fixed one. make sense?

It's true I didn't have a sleep study, all I had was one of those watch-like devices with a strap that goes over my finger.
Keep in mind that the UK has a socialized medical system. This may be one of the ways in which their system is set up.
Isn't it going to be nice when we get our socialized medical system! Gotta love the "change".
Duane McDade said:yesb they do i work in a sleep lab and the doctors here would not dream of auto titrating anyone of our patients! NEVER!! so, my answer is yes ....and they should not! Its not best form your health. It's criminal.
Russ Burt said:Oh right - I guess they just do things differently here then.
Oh my God!!! I've heard about cases like yours before! You need to be titrated by a human not a machine. This should be against the Law!!!! I get at least 3 patients a month who have done what you are doing. Good luck. This is not the way to get your pressure.
