I too use the medical paper tape instead of regular medical tape to tape my mouth shut. I have found a great tip is this: Right before putting the tape on your mouth, press it against your leg or sheet or something to take some more adhesive off it. It still sticks great and doesn't rip your skin th...

I recently got the Remstar Plus M Series CPap (the c-flex is disabled) and it comes with a Smart Card. I asked my therapist how I could read the card myself and she's being very hesitant for me to read my own results, saying she will come once a week and take the card and give me a print out. Why ar...

I've done the same thing. I reach up and check the airflow from the exhaust just to make sure I'm breathing. LOL I love my cpap now.

I had a doctor's appointment this morning with the doctor that I owe my CPAP to. She sent me to a sleep lab last year when she looked at me and said, "You look exhausted, are you sleeping?" I said I was. She requested I do a sleep study just to be sure and now, months later I am on a pressure of 16....

There is a product called BioFreeze that comes ...

I am certainly not one to give advice as I've only been on CPAP for a few months but the first mask I ever tried was the ComfortGel in size small. I have a round face but small features just like yours and I know exactly what you mean about the small space between nose and upper lip. The DME who bro...

That makes a lot of sense. I wonder what Jaggle's pressure is set at. That might well have a lot to do with it.

My humidifier is set on 2. Thanks for the answers, now I have more questions. You mentioned at 16 cm, you should have been a candidate for Auto Bi-Pap . What is an auto bi-pap? Jaggles, your machine and mask is identical to what mine is and you go 3 to 4 days without filling it?!! See, this is exact...

Hi everyone. I have spent the past few days reading everything I could on this board and I have to say it's a wealth of information. Thank you to everyone who has offered advice and shared experiences. I started on my cpap about six months ago. My ramp number starts out at 9 and eventually goes to 1...
