I have an old machine. It has not been used in several years but I'm sure that it still works. I am happy to donate but I have no idea who would accept this kind of donation. Any suggestions?

Thanks,
Diane

Well, the report says no large leak with this mask. As I've said, I have a real problem getting masks to fit. I have a small face, a VERY small nose with no bridge, chubby cheeks and shoulder length hair. I have tried numerous masks but nothing works well day in and day out. I'm open to all mask sug...

OK -so let's see if I understand this... I use a variety of masks due to problems fitting my VERY samll nose, but right now I am using the ResMed Swift LT. Accoring to the book (with the little graph) the flow at 8 is 28 and the flow at 12 is 33. According to my report on the 28th (last day download...

About 2 weeks ago I invested in a new machine...the Respironics M Series with AFlex. I also purchased the software and card reader. Now, how do I read the reports? Is there a chart somewhere that tells you what the numbers mean...or rather what they should be? What are acceptable ranges? For example...

I also had the major dent in the forehead problem. My DME told me to take off the gel "spacer" and just loosly attach the straps. It worked wonders.

I can't imagine who uses those. They are tiny.

That would be me! and, they are still too big.

Caroline.....yes, the Activa is a small, shallow. Unfortunately, it covers half my face instead of just my nose. When I was at the DME, I told him to think 12 year old when considering my face size. He corrected me...said I needed to think infant! My nose is VERY small and the bridge is almost flat....

Caroline, Currently I am using a Profile Lite, petite. It is still too big and the gel makes my face break out but I can certainly sleep with it. In addition, I sometime use a swift but it aggrivates my allergies (even with the heated humidifier). The other problem is that I do move around quite a b...

Does anyone have a suggestion for selling/donating masks that "didn't work"? I have been using CPAP for 1 year now. Due to my VERY small features, I have had a terrible time getting a mask to fit. I have 3 masks that I tried, used once or twice or maybe a week, and then packed away to try something ...

While I appreciate all of the input, I'm confused.

According to my doctor and the literature about humidifiers, they are used for nasal DRYNESS. I have NO dryness. All a humidifier ever does for me is make my nose run even more. Am I missing something?

Thanks

Thanks for the tips. Currently I am not using ANY humidifier. I haven't had a stuffy nose in years. And truthfully, I don't have one now. What I have is a faucet! Liquid just pours out of my eyes and nose. Unbelievable! I do clean my filters regularly (they haven't even seemed dirty at all). I also ...

I have always suffered tremendously with nasal allergies. However, for the past 5 years using Zyrtec and Singulair I hardly have any problems at all. (as in, your wouldn't even know that I had allergies). I started with my CPAP in mid June. Recently my nose just will not stop running, my eyes are wa...

I am almost 50

My metabolism had slowed way down. I didn't realize it (much) just figured that I was getting older. But now that I have more energy I realize what had happened.

I just want to add some "Food for Thought". I noticed several complaints about dieting and how fast most of us gain the weight back....may I recommend Curves weight MANAGEMENT program? This program is based on increasing your metabolism and is designed to get you to a point where dieting is only nec...

No I haven't tried it..............all of the measuring guides and the DME sya that it will be too big. That's one of the questions I'm asking.......will it fit a VERY small face? I don't have a bridge to my nose (well, it's about an 8th of an inch, maybe) and my nose is tiny. for what it's worth, I...
