Good Nasal Pillow Mask to Try?
I've been using the ResMed N20 mask for a while now and most of the time it is fine but I had developed sores on the sides of the bridge of my nose, to the point I needed to wear bandaids on those spots some nights. Then I looked at what masks you are all wearing and looked at the quiz wherein you v...

Re: THE GREAT PILLOW EXCHANGE

Send it back! You are entitled to a new machine. Do not let them get by with foisting a used machine off on you.

Re: CPAP and TSA screening
I usually carry my Cpap as a carry on item because it does not count as an item. Recently though I took two trips with my puppy as a carry on and I packed it in my checked luggage. I had no problems whatsoever. I knew I was taking a risk but with no stopovers I was confident it would not go astray a...

Re: The elderly have thin skin
my mask, the Resmed N20, does occasionally cause sores on the upper part of the side of my nose, just below the eye level. I think I adjust it during the night when I am not aware I am doing so. I got some small bandaids and use neosporin on them to put on the spots where these sores occur. This has...

Re: Why is 'effort' not considered an alternate?
Yes, I am overweight. Yes, my apnea might go away if I lost weight. Yes, I am north of 60. I have not been able to lose weight and keep it off successfully so I have this condition. I choose to treat it with a machine and keep looking for a way to lose weight and keep it off. In the meantime, I will...

Resmed P10 mask a fail
So after finding out on here that the pillows masks are the most popular among all the masks, at least among the people who answered the poll, I decided to try the Resmed P10 mask. After 3 nights I can say with certainty it is a giant fail for me. I had major leaks I had previously tried several mas...

Re: Poll: What Mask type do you use?
And I ordered the Resmed pillow mask from Cpap.com because of this poll and it will arrive the day after Christmas. I was/am using the ResMed N20 but have been having lousy leak rates lately so I am ready to try something new. I do hope I did not make a mistake by not buying the "for her" version. S...

Re: Sores on nose
Thank you everyone for your replies. I did not wear my mask last night (yes, I know bad idea) and the sore is much improved. I will go get some bandaids today and wear one tonight. I just found out I am allergic to latex and the bandaids I had on hand all have latex in them.

Re: AirFit N20 Users
I’ve posted on my own separate post about this but I’ve started developing sores up at the top of my nose between my eyebrows and today they are worse than ever. I’m very concerned if I need to treat with antigungal or antibacterial cream. I have pain but not itching. It’s exaberated by my eyeglasse...

Sores on nose
Hello everyone. I’ve not posted in awhile because everything has been going swimmingly. Now, however I have a concern. I’ve been having red marks on the outside of my nose, up at the top of my nose. Both sides have been affected but now the left side has a pretty large red sore. It hurts, mildly, do...

Re: Europe traveling - what should I get?
I've been to Europe several times in the little over a year I've had my ResMed machine and I've taken it with me every time. It has a carry case that doesn't count as a carry-on and it's been easy to lug it along. I bought an inexpensive electric adapter and it's perfect. It's difficult to find dist...

Re: CPAP titration study - abnormally low numbers?
It took a lot of us weeks, months, to adjust and get used to xpap treatment and begin reaping rewards. So sorry you did not have support at the time you were starting so that you could have succeeded. Don't know what to tell you now. It's a shame really. Good luck.
