So what am I doing wrong??

I was shocked when I checked my numbers this morning. I know this wasn't caused a mouth leak because I am using the chin up strips. My machine is suppose to adjust between 8 and 15,

Leak: .16L/s
AHI: 20.6 (ouch)
AI: 4.9
HI: 15.7

I am using the ResMed Swift LT for her (small pillows). Is my mask leaking too much??

Still a newbie... :)

My 30 days was up on December 23rd. Personally I think it takes this long to even know what you're doing right (or wrong).My DME was the worst. Pretty much had my mask and machine picked out before I got there. I told her I didn't want the Respionics but wanted the ResMed machine. She seemed very "put out" because I think she had already programmed it. She sent me home with the Zest mask which I returned about 2 weeks later. I had actually gotten sick and couldn't start my therapy for about a week. I have received 1 phone call to see how I am doing. Personally this forum is way more helpful than my DME could ever be!
