hybrid repair

Hi,

Has anybody tried to repair a Hybrid mask? The little knob on the side of the mask that holds the bottom strap has broken off. Anyone have any idea on how it can be fixed? Can it be hot glued back on? At the minute its held on by a stocking around the gonzo nose part of the mask.

Thanks
Liz

For the English members a question or two

Hi, I've just moved from the USA back to England. I was diagnosed with sleep apnea and prescribed a CPAP machine in the states. I'm now in England and have no idea what the process is in England. I've been to my local GP and now have an appointment at the hospital. Who does the proscription for CPAP...

Encore Pro

Hi,

I'm having problems installing Encore Pro v 1.5 on windows XP. It gets to the part where it installs the "database engine" and then either freezes or I get the message "MSDEInstaller Failed in execution." Anyone have any idea what's going on?

Thanks

I promised myself many years ago that I would never wear pantyhose again. I never realised I might break that promise by wearing it on my head.

Hi,

After spending three hours in the middle of the night emptying out my water bed after it sprung a leak I think it's time for a new type of bed. Anyone have any recommendations on what type of bed to get?

You ask how to sterilize rather than asking IF you need to sterilize. The answer is that there is no reason to sterilize. Cleaning occasionally is all that is needed. Not being able to taste is not fun, although it is great for dieting. I don't want to go through that again so I want to occasionall...

Hi, For the last week or so I have been waking with a dry mouth. I have also been pretty blocked up so I suspect I have been breathing through my mouth something that I normally have no problems with avoiding.

It was such a high level of discomfort that I wasn't willing to persist. You do realise (I assume,) that you have to stuff plugs up you nose to prevent nose breathin...
