I better correct my ignorance, just got off phone with doctor, had they done the mask the last half of the night I wouldn't have qualified for insurance to cover the cpap therapy, guess i get to spend another night down there and fork over a bunch more money hooray. As far as money is concerned if I didn't know i would reach my deductible this year i would have done my free take home exam then bought a self regulating one online, instead of two studies and paying for machine through insurance, would have saved a lot of money. Kind of sucks but even with going through insurance and not counting the deductible I will be spending more with my 20% on all those things than having just bought a cpap, but hopefully this way will be the best to get the right pressure.

Seriously though, I had no idea, so make sure you post back how much a difference this ends up making for you and encourage others to look into it, cause likely we have been living with this a long time and has caused a multitude of problems. And I think the reason why I wasn't scoring as high the night I went into the study is because i sat in a hot tub before for a good hour and had a lot of ibuprofen which would reduce inflamtion and swelling and make me breathe more freely, luckily I didn't screw it up so bad insurance wouldn't cover me.
