Hey, all you ComfortGel nasal masks users out there!
Hello Everybody, Well, I've had a pretty amazing start to my therapy over the last three weeks. My quality of sleep has clearly improved, but I'm still dialing in the mask.... I REALLY like my nasaI mask, but I've had trouble with rainout (bought the Auusie hose to help) as well as tenderness on the...

What is a 'good' LPM range?
Hello!
So, I'm trying to get use to all this new vocabulary and impress my Doc on my 30 day check-up. Would someone mind explaining LMP and could you give me a ball park figure of a good LMP number, and how to interpret what my CPAP is currently reporting(I think it's 33)?
Thanks!
Michael

Question about AHI from a novice.
Hello! So, being new to all of this, I am hoping some of you might enlighten me a bit about my AHI index. After 9 days of theraphy at home, my AHI average is 2.5. I'm guessing you want this number to be low, but am I in the ballpark here? I know I'm sleeping better, so this counts for a lot on its o...

First night using Aussie Hose
Good Morning! So, I missed the Macy's Parade because I SLEPT THROUGH IT! I can't believe how rested I feel. For any Aussie Hose users, I do have a few more questions: Mindy mentioned needing to plug the adapter into the wall in a certain direction. Can anyone verify if this has been their experience...

Aussie Hose
Hello from wet Seattle. So, as some of you know, I'm a newcommer to all this and posted a few questions, which have thoughtful, helpful answers from you.

Rainout?
Hi, I've only been on a CPAP for the last several nights, and I find I am taking to it quite well. I've managed to keep my nasal mask on for at least 7 hours and I know my sleep has improved. My question is: around 5:00 am, my mask usually starts to 'whistle' (which wakes me up). It's at that point ...
