I'm a new user, just a monh, but my experience has been interesting. In australia it is now spring, the hayfever season. normally at this timeof year i'm sneezing, rubbing itchy ears, using 3 handkerchiefs every day because of the allergies. Since I started CPAP therapy my nose has cleared up, the i...

I'm very new (not yet 4 weeks) so I have limited experience, but I thought I'd share it anyway. I'm using an Opus 360 nasal pillows mask. Although at first I hated it, along with everything else associated with CPAP, I'm pretty much happy with it now. Occasionally I get a slight irritation in my nos...

Thanks Brenda I must say that since the first few nights, when I thought I'd made a huge mistake, I'm feeling quite encouraged. i'm off to see the doctor in the morning, so I'll run out the graphs and ask her what she thinks. (at this stage i have utmost confidence in her judgement, and hoping that ...

Hi Brenda Pantyhose to the rescue! Great leak data - none. Woke up again certain that the machine was off, which of course it wasn't. Feeling a bit better too.

I'll let you know

cheers

I often thought perhaps I'd play every night, but I'm 53, and my knees couldn't hack it keep...

Here I am again. Had a setback last night. Still low leakage, but I felt that I was probably leaking though my mouth a bit. Not a good nights sleep at all, and AHI of 9.0. It was a hot night, about 25deg C. sp perhaps thats the issue

Just when I thought I had it nailed!

I'll try again tonight

I'm a new user, and very green. I was diagnosed a few weeks ago; hired a machine and set out on this journey about 3 weeks ago. I'd like to share my experiences; perhaps someone would like to comment. I purchased an Opus 360 nasal pillows mask, primarily because I thought I'd like the fact that it i...
