[quote="djdaddyk"]I agree that your biggest problem is most likely leaks. You shouldn't have ANY large leaks. You say you are using nasal pillows but then your profile shows you using a regular mask; which is it? The mask is the main thing for leaks, so choose yours carefully. Some masks vent up tow...

Sorry, I guess I had not updated my machine, which I have now done. It is an BiPap Auto M Series by Respironics. I think I've got it right in my profile now. As to the numbers - I think I put all the numbers and indexex that Encore Pro printed out. The reason I went to a nasal pillow system is becau...

Hi Everyone. It's been a while since I've logged on and I've collected a lot of data from my smart card - which my doctor hardly even looked at!!!!

I probably should have included my equipment, etc.....I have a Resmed Auto Spirit, I use either a Ultra mirage Full Face mask or the Activa nasal. When I use the nasal, I tape my mouth so there won't be any leakage...... Hi, I'm not very good at this board stuff - but I wanted to ask a question abo...

I know the answer is buried in all of these posts somewhere, but - could comone give me a hint as to when I might expect to feel better?
