Re: Mask BLISTERS!!!

Well, everywhere I applied the MOM did not welt up--just the areas where I didn't. So I think I'll keep trying it and see if these "racoon markings" (according to my hubdroid) go away. Thanks to everyone that posted. I appreciate your words of advice...

Re: Travel CPAP Machine Questions

Hi, I use an Elite for a travel machine and I think it's great. Not too heavy or bulky. I also use the humidifier with it. It fits nicely in the case. I've been on cruises, to Costa Rica, to Mexico and such with it--no problems.

Re: Mask BLISTERS!!!

Hi Ozij. Thanks for your reply. I am very careful to wash my face every night and the mask cushion with dawn unscented or baby wash. I do not use any products like creams, etc. at night. That is why this is such a mystery to me... I will be careful about putting the mask in the dishwasher. I plan on...

Re: Mask BLISTERS!!!

Hiya Gumby--thanks for your words of wisdom. I am not sure about Rested Girl's panties, though!!!! LOL You must elaborate on this for me. Also, the mask is tight enough not to move when I breathe because my pressure was increased to 14 and it blows harder than my 8 pressure. Maybe the dishwasher is ...

Re: Mask BLISTERS!!!

The allergy issue crossed my mind. However, I used the Quattro (2 different ones) for over a year before I ever started getting these welts and blisters. Unless it is just a buildup of an allergic reaction. I will try putting milk of magnesia on my face tonight to see if it helps with the reaction I...

Re: Mask BLISTERS!!!

Actually, my mask is just tight enough to keep it from leaking and "farting". I know not to have it too tight! I sent Karen a PM. Hopefully she has something for my cushion.

Mask BLISTERS!!!

Well, the Quattro is giving me blisters on my face. I've been putting cortisone cream on them every morning after I wake up but now they are leaking fluid. I've even changed masks to a new one I had put away and it is still giving me blisters. What can I do???? The RT switched me to a Swift LT but I...

Re: Pressure and weight gain issues

Well, I suppose if I wait until the official Dr. appointment due to my lungs, that would be wiser than doing it by myself. I never considered that I might need a BiPap. I was thinking that just an Auto would be sufficient. I know that they are trying different meds on me for the PF since what I have...

Re: Pressure and weight gain issues

Carrie--congratulations on losing all that weight! Kathy I am going to do what you say about calling and asking what the pressure should be instead of waiting for a month. I'm still not convinced about the chin strap working, though because I can hardly have anything on my head that is elasticized--...

Re: Pressure and weight gain issues

Hi Carrie, thanks for the reply. I guess I should have mentioned that I have tried nasal masks and I am a mouthbreather and they didn't work for me. I even used an ace bandage to try to keep my mouth shut and it didn't work. I've considered taping but I don't think it will work either. I even mouth ...
