HumidAire Broke, now what?

I am using an Escape S8 with the Humidaire 3i attachment. I've been traveling a lot lately and somehow the flip down water reservior cover is now broke where it wont click in place so air leaks from all around it. I have been rigging it with my wifes hair band and that seems to work for now. My insu...

Hey retiredPete's wife! Glad to hear from you again, and don't worry about the other thread, I have learned quickly that this condition and the treatment for it brings out lots of raw emotion very quickly. Yeah I have run the entire gambit of emotions on this thing from forget it to you just do what...

I talked to my provider this afternoon and they are going to let me use the CL2 for a while and see if I like it before I swap them out.

I'm hoping for the best!
Man I've been on here a lot the last couple of days!!

No problem, I have never had trouble sleeping (at least that I knew of) before. I've always been the out as soon as my head hits the pillow guy, then up once maybe to...well...you know... then right back out.

Not since this cursed machine though.

CL2 or Twilight NP??????

Well I've decided to try a different mask that will allow me to sleep on my stomach. I can either exchange my current mask for a CL2 through my provider, or I see that so many of you like the Twilight, I could just buy it myself.

Opinions and experiences please!!!!

Thanks for the help,

Unplugging the machine

I have been unplugging my machine every morning and plugging it back in every night. If I don't it stays powered all day, am I just being silly and should leave it plugged in all day?
Also, I keep reading about folks reviewing their data, where the heck do I get this daily data?

Thanks

I finally slept through the entire night!!

The only problem is when I woke up I found the mask laying beside me on the bed blowing air like crazy.

Blood every time I blow my nose

Well, I've only been on this thing 5 nights now (with horrible sleep mind you) and everytime I blow my nose now I get lots of blood, some dried and some not quite dried. Any ideas?

I updated my profile to include my mask, and my pressure setting is 12. Sorry retiredPete's wife, must have touched a nerve. Don't worry, my wife and my folks won't let me give up on this thing. That and I have a 14 month old little girl that is motivation enough! What I was looking for was reccomen...

I thought this was going to be great!

Well, at first I said "I ain't wearing one of those things!!" Then after my 2nd sleep study (this time wearing the mask) I got the best night's sleep I have in a LONG time. Then I changed to, I can't wait to get mine! Fast forward..... I have had mine now for 3 nights and I'm not sleeping worth a da...
