Re: Room humidifier

I tried it for a bit and didn't benefit from it. Ended up with alot of condensation on the windows. The ideal relative humidity for health and comfort is about 40-50%. In the winter months, it may have to be lower than 40% RH to avoid condensation on the windows.

Re: Sleep Test Done. Now What?

You will probably be contacted in the next few days to set up an appointment with a sleep Doctor. I had my sleep test on a Thursday nightg. I saw the Doctor the following Tuesday afternoon over skype at the DME office. I left the office with a brand new Air Curve 10 Vauto. DME just billed my insuran...

Re: New CPAPer, feeling discouraged, leaking like a flat tire

Wow, Mr. Nifty, you've tried all those before you found one that you like? Okay, so I really am at the beginning here. I was thinking (dreaming) that I'd get the machine, get a mask, sleep with it all and, wham, problem solved. Been reading the forum info for newbies. That helps a lot. Just don't g...

Re: ResMed Airfit P10 CPAP Mask

I've had sinus issues for years. Xpap therapy has only made the situation worse. Doctor has me on claritin and wilson's solution. But it does seem to be helping.

Re: What is your favorite full face mask with headgear and why?

Been using a bipap since January 13th 2016. The local DME selected the ResMed F10 for me. I tried it one night and took it back the next day. Using a swift fx now. It's a bit leaky yet conformable. But I need a FFM! Out of pocket I have tried the ResMed Swift fx nano and Mirage Liberty. Ordered the ...

Re: Dream Wear leaks

I hate my dream wear. It was my first mask ever, I returned it within the first week as it was creating a sore under my nose. IT got so painful I would just take my mask off. Aside from that it would always "Feel" like it wasn't on even when it was. Sometimes it would leak but no often. I generally...
