Does anyone here use these? They are about half the price of Somnifix. They look so big they would need trimming. That would be a pain.

Which way should I put it on ? and do they have a hole ?

And I thought that these machines had filters and that the air we breath in is pure and clean - ?

lucky us, lungs are well equipped with hairs and mucous which bring up these particles we then swallow or spit out.

I have been using my new machine and mask now for just about a week. Dear Lord, The starting of this journey sure is hell for most of the ones here. You will need patience and try out things. You will get advises for masks, for settings, for getting other checkup's. Sleep disruption can have many r...

You may try to lower the Max pressure to 14.
On rare occasion the high pressure can trigger CA (Central Apnea).

your machine does not record any events. Have you been tested ? or how do you know you have apnea problems ?

Hi DJM, have you tried to do the 100 feet with your CPAP ? (you may need an extension cord)
If it is the same as without it may not be your CPAP.

Common chunkyfrog, you too were pretty one of those days. It is not a shame to be pretty look at the Sheriff

Check if the drooling is not some water condensation in the hose or mask. Try reducing the relative humidity set on the CPAP.

Drill holes in it, at least it is what I would do. You have to convince your self, not us. Like Froggy wrote.

One can get used to the smell it will slowly reduce as the sensory receptors will saturate. It can take a long time and if you take it off over the day it will be the same problem every night. :( You may try to keep the mask (often the worst smelling) next to you and try to slowly get used to it. It...

You are on CPAP for 3 years and no improvement ?

Please get a general checkup. Something else might be wrong.

Give some information about your history, medication, accidents, what ever and ask questions.

Welcome to this family. (where is Zonker ? our welcome Master ... Starts are difficult to terrible making things first worse than they already are. The journey is not easy with claustrophobia.

What she said.

I know you usually have the shortest and most clear-cut answers. Well, this time I had to read the well written long version.

I had those to, specially in the beginning under APAP. I had 20 to 50 min total time in apnea over 8 to 9 hour. They reduced when I started with VPAP. They still show up but less. Your wife has 20 min total time in apnea over 4 h sleep. I would mention it. If you figure out something I sure would li...
