Re: Resmed slimline tube help

I put a fleece tube cover I made over my Climate Lite and use a Cozy Hose Boss. A tube cover makes all the difference, whether the tube is heated or not.

Re: Love my new CPAP BFF but have awful gas pains

You have been through so much, but glad to hear the CPAP is working for you. For me, I cannot use the nasal masks or pillows for the very same reason as you, awful gas pains.

Yes, the prescription drugs usually help - Relpax, Imitrix, Maxalt, etc. However, for me, I have to change them after a while, for whatever reason.

Re: Limit on how many masks in the first 30 days?

I just got my second mask in 30 days, plus I got to keep my first mask, both by Resmed. I went from a FFM to the Mirage FX.
