Suggestion to users: Add your pressure to your profile

Post by jsmythe » Thu Dec 06, 2007 7:29 pm



I have a suggestion , would all who post on the forum put your xpap pressure in your profile comments? A lot already do, but there are a lot who don't. It would be a great help to those of us who are considering a new mask but not sure if it would work with high pressure or not. With showing your mask and the pressure, it would help to see if we might or might not be able to use a mask similar to it.
Sometimes I see a mask that I would love to try, but then, I wonder, "will it work on someone with high pressure?"

Thanks guys! When I first started visiting cpaptalk, that is the first thing that I noticed, no one posted their pressure with mask description. I am still a newbie, been on pap about 3 months. And know very little about masks. Since I have a high pressure, it helps to see a mask in use with high pressure. Lets me know if I might be able to wear it or not. Everyone here has been such a great help and a wonderful influence. Helps to keep me motivated and using my machine.(Tho very hard at times!) Thanks for all the help...

BTW Sleepy, I got lots of those missing brain cells myself...

Just a friendly reminder___there are still so many who do not have their pressure listed in their profile . Maybe put it in the Signature box or the Additional Comments line...would be a BIG help for more reasons than one for everyone who reads your post
