Just had study done before I got my machine just about 2 months ago and they seem very positive they have the correct titration. The have a very good setup and said I was an easy subject for the study. My CPAP machine seem to be set correct, no way to judge for sure, it's a Tranquility (sp?) Quest with Adams Pillow and mask. If anyone knows of an easy way to check the settings. The Doc said I was at the max (might have been close to) for a CPAP and if any higher he would have put me on a BiPAP. BTW it should be set at 15 and my apnea is 35 stomach, 45 sides, 75 back.

I do know that my mouth leaks and can't keep it from falling open. The bloating has seem to improve or I'm getting use to it and I got some of those Chin-ups and they seem to help (don't have to keep chin strap as tight to get the same or better results).

I am also looking into a new chin strap and head gear, the ones that come with the Adam circuit slips and has to much strech to the chin strap.

Sorry about the rambling,
thanks of the help
