Re: Eyelid twitching
If I spray dimetapp into my nose I notice my eye lids twitch. The spray must clear the link between the nose and the eye and the pressure affects the eye.

Re: Question for those of you who have to pay a Co-Pay.
I live in Sydney,Australia and we have a two tiered system of medicare and private cover. I get a small payment of $600 when I buy my machine and thats it. Any further purchases I pay all of it.We also pay much more for our machines here. I just paid in excess of $4000 dollars for the new S9 VPAP.

I just started to use a Resmed S9 VPAP and find everything is running well and no problems. It was expensive though.

Re: My machine is right beside me. My best friend!
Got my new Resmed s9 VPAP yesterday. Very little noise,and worked well. After 8 hours in bed I think I got 7 hours sleep and a AHI of 1.1.
The only problem was the price. We get overcharged here in Australia.

Re: Keep Waking Up And Taking Mask Off
Hi Tapeworm.
I see you are useing a full face mask. I had a lot of trouble with that also. I now use two masks.
A nasal mask with chinstrap.
Nasal pillows with chin strap.
Forget the FFM.
