Welcome etclark! You might turn up your humidifier to help you with the runny nose. It dooes take a little while to adjust to the air rushing up your nose and all but you will feel SO much better after being on cpap for awhile. Any questions, ask it of this list. There are so many caring people on this list and so much knowledge.

Dotto for me what ROCK says above! This is the place for GREAT knowledge!
ROCK, buy the way how are you doing now after the BIG storm? Hope you are back to normal and doing well. I hope all is progressing well for all of the gulf coast! A while back i stayed in Kerrville TX for a few days and the people in TX are just great, very friendly and welcoming. Don't see that kind of hospitaliy most places anymore!

All the best,

steve,

ufo,

all is back to normal except for some carpntry work I needs done. It is not major and there is a long waiting list on non essential work. But back to norm after a big scare. If a Cat 5 or 4 had hit us dead on, well, I would hate to think

Hi etclark,

Hello everyone,
Thanks for all the help, advise, etc. I jad a runny nose for one night. the next night I changed the nasal pillows to a smaller one and that helped a lot. They even feel and fit better. Do either of you use nasal pillows? If you, how do you like them?
