Thanks for the feedback. I don't think I can get it any further up on my face...I think the main problem is there isn't enough room between my nose and my lip and too much 'gear' trying to fit into that small space. Even if I got a smaller size I think the problem would then be it would be too small...

3 nights with my new Liberty...

...and I gave up and went back to my FF Quattro 'cuz I was soooooo tired!!! I plan to try again with it, can't seem to figure out what's wrong. It is a difficult mask to get situated it seems. The nasal pillows fit fine, the mouth mask fits fine...I think that there's not enough room on my face betw...

I have had 9 operations on my ears and I have alot of scar tissue. During my titration study and during my mask fitting the pressure in my ears from the nasal only masks was painful...so I have a full face mask. I think all that air blowing directly into my nose was too much. However, I did just get...

Thanks! She wasn't sure if she'd gotten it wrong and I didn't want her to get to the Dr. in a couple of weeks and have no data!

I should clarify...she was told to keep the card out until the Dr. told her to put it in to get her data...in other words, not to have the card in every day.

Hope I'm being clear!

ResMed Auto question

Hi all, I have a Respironics but my best friend's mom just got a ResMed Auto Vantage (?) and said that the card is kept OUT of the machine until she needs it. Is that the case? It seemed weird since my smart card needs to be IN the machine to gather data. Any help/instructions for her would be much ...

And Jen, make sure that when you open EP you click on Preferences, top right...and check the correct box (USB, COM1, etc) for where the card reader is. And also that you want to be prompted to save your info after download, it's on the same screen. Good luck! I had no problems initially but am havin...

He's 22 mos...and he thinks 'baapaaaa' (backpack) is really cool! Dora ranks in the top ten...but the Wiggles are definitely in the #1 spot. Can you believe I spent almost $100 to get he & I tickets to see them?!! I don't even spend that on concerts for ME anymore!! LOL!

"Waking with mild to moderate dry eye. Not sure where it's from as I'm unable to ID any leaks in that area. Suspect it's blow-back from the vents - possibly hitting the pillow and diverting back at me as I'm a side sleeper. " Me too!! I thought I was leaking at first but finally realized no...I thin...

ROFL!!! What an image! As the parents of a toddler I can tell you that if I showed my husband this he'd say 'Ohhh...a Dora the Explorer thing going on...'! Anyone with kids will understand that...LOL!

Humorous or not...SO glad you're finding something that works for you!!

Welcome Jill! I've been on CPAP almost a month now. It took 2 solid weeks to even start to be comfortable...and the last 2 weeks have been up & down. But I DO feel a definite difference!! Just keep plugging away...soon you hopefully won't even notice the machine/mask and will just sleep. Good luck!!...

Oh my! It saddens me that some of your families are SO unsupportive!! No doubt that most spouses/parents/children get frustrated with us OSA patients, especially before we've been diagnosed and have CPAP therapy helping...that's normal I think. But to be so mean it's totally uncalled for! Christy, i...
