Re: How to keep from removing my mask subconsciously each night?

I don't know how else to say this ..... you got stuck with a "Brick" go back to the DR. and ask her to prescribe a data capable machine "DS560P I would love to have a data capable machine, but I'm doubtful that they would go along with changing it only for that reason. They don't expect us to be lo...

Re: How to keep from removing my mask subconsciously each night?

First of all, is your nasal breathing optimized because even with a full face mask, if you become congested, it can lead to discomfort and cause you to unintentionally remove it? Assuming it is, my next question would be are you limited to full face masks due to being a mouth breather? It could als...

Re: Electronic copies of User Manuals and other documentation?

Thanks everyone, I have most of the files I need.. I sent a message to both companies on twitter, and they provided the documents. Respironics only gave me the manual for the CPAP machine, but not the humidifier. Maybe it doesn't have it's own manual? I wasn't expecting any reply from them, which is...

Electronic copies of User Manuals and other documentation?

I'm trying to locate electronic copies of the documentation for my CPAP equipment so I can read it on my computer. Since I am totally blind, I cannot use the printed manuals on my own.

How to keep from removing my mask subconsciously each night?

I started CPAP therapy in June of 2014, but only lasted for a couple of months. I found that no matter what I do, I consistently remove my mask during the night.
