Re: They Tell Me I Need This Machine

Well, if it ain't one thing it's another. Now you have ear issues. I was going to suggest turning down the pressure on your machine from 10 to 7 or 8 for a few nights to adjust.

Re: They Tell Me I Need This Machine

ckeith, I am very sorry to hear about your bad night. But you are definitely making progress by realizing you need a full face mask in light of the the fact you have rhinitis and a deviated septum. I just feel very confident that once you find the right mask, you are going to be well on your way to...

Re: They Tell Me I Need This Machine

what's she wrong about? the whiners ramp is turned off, pressure fixed at 10. maybe he would be happier with a ramp starting at 7 or 8, certainly not the default of 4.
