I'm 77 days into this and I don't know about the word "Love" and I don't know about the word "afraid", but I have absolutely NO desire to sleep without it! It took me all of a couple days to stop looking at it with some sort of concern or reservations and to start looking at it like Linus (of Charli...

Do any of you kind folk use the Fisher and Paykell HC405? I have one and it fits without leaking around my narrow nasal bridge, which no other mask I have found yet does! However, I am concerned whether the mask adequately vents the air out of my mask. As you know, there is a fiber filter/muffler ov...

I washed my masks in a vinegar solution and now the elbows and swivels squeak.

Is there anything that they can be "lubricated" with?

Thanks in advance,

Jerry.

It's my favorite. Do a search, lots of info here. After a couple of minutes, I can't even tell if I'm wearing it. If it leaks, it doesn't go in my eyes like a mask does. I recently bought a second Opti, just to have it. (Cheap on the auction.) My pressures start at 5 and 7, and Auto up towards 6 and...

Hi to all you wonderful, knowledgeable, and helpful people! Sorry, but I just had to say that first! I have a Respironics BiPap Auto, Series M machine with a smart card. I am 67 days into my therapy and doing well. I've learned so much from all of you guys and gals here. I have read posts that talke...

OK, I'll keep trying to fiddle with it.....

I'll see if the nose fit is working OK first....without everything being connected... maybe I just have a funny shaped nose...

Just how "tight" against your cheeks is the thing supposed to feel? Seems like it is squeezing pretty tightly....

I accidentally picked up a couple of gallons of "Purified Water" instead of "Distilled". It says that it is purified by reverse osmosis.

What's the difference?

Use it for the humidifier or pitch it out?

Hello out there to any of you who prefer the Comfort Curve Nasal Pillow!!! What are the "tricks" to making this darned thing work?? It seems to fit my nose shape well, but it still leaks like a sieve.... I just gotta be doing something stupid here! Plus, it's squeezing my cheeks kinda hard, and I on...

I have a couple of Optilife pillow... Small... one still in the bag, and one just tried for size for a couple of minutes. Anyone need them? I only use Medium, so a swap would be appreciated. If you don't have a trade, but can use these two Smalls, just email me and we'll get them to you somehow. The...

I have an Optilife pillow... Large... still in the bag. Anyone need it? I only use Medium, so a swap would be appreciated. If you don't have a trade, but can use the Large, just email me and we'll get it to you somehow. It's just going to waste sitting here on the table. jerryinpa@atlanticbb.net Jer...

After a month on the machine and reading the smart card report, he said to leave everything where it was.... 5 and 7, and the machine fully automatic. The odd thing in my mind was that the 90% values per the machine's report were 6 and 9... and that's what the DME therapist sort of thought the Slee...

[quote="Claire"] ................To make a long story short, I now have a nasal mask and have come to love the sensation of the air coming in under pressure. It makes me breathe more deeply and, I think, helps me go to sleep quickly. ............ [quote] ---------------------------------------------...

Does anybody need two Petites? One in the plastic and one tried for a minute for size.

Let me know.

Jerry.

05Renegade,

I mailed your two smalls this afternoon. email me when you receive them.

Jerry.
