No Mask
Hi:
I have been using the no mask system and I find my only trouble in getting the mouth piece to fit without making my tongue sore. I have been carving on the molding and I think I have it fixed. Does anyone else have this problem ? What did you do to fix it?

cpap-pro
Last night was my first time with no mask system. For me it was really nice and easy to use. The only thing was cotton mouth and you can't eat anything while you are wearing it. Which is a good thing in my case.( getting a little round in the middle )

Re: Post Polio Syndrome
by "nap" do you mean when actually asleep in the aft. or do you think we should use cpap when just lying down and resting with eyes closed for a while? if the latter, why's that? The latter too. * Because you may fall asleep. * My airway starts closing when I lie down and relax, and I get jolted ou...

Masks
You can tell if someone is a user of a CPAP or BIPAP machine by looking at their hair. I have dents and curls where the strap hold my nasal pillows .
So now when I am at a store I look for the dents and curls.

I use nasal pillows and they come in different sizes and are soft to shape to your nose.

Re: Humidifier
I find that if I do not use my humidifier my sinuses dry out and start to bleed. But then I am also on oxygen.

Moisture Traps
I use an oxygen concentater. I installed a moisture trap to keep water from running into my nose but it is not working. The water get into the 4 foot hose between the moisture trap and my nose. Does any know what to do about this?
