Make sure your friend has an epi-pen on hand. Bad reactions can come some time after the shot.

I never used a full face mask. I started off with the optilife. It doesn't touch the bridge of your nose at all. Might be worth a try.

I'm on week 4 of cpap and things are going ok to great then back to bad. I'm starting to think the bad days are all allergy related. My predictable bad days are after I get my allergy shot. The shot always makes it difficult for me to breath for a day or so (not just my nose but lung capacity seems ...

If the opposite is true, then maybe all you are doing...

I'm new to CPAP.

I skipped the full face mask/beard worry and went straight to an optilife nasal mask.

I'm happy with it so far but it's only been a week.

Leak looks a little funny to me and I think it...

Hi Fredman,

I did end up using it last night after all.

It actually helped with the congestion and the warm humid air felt great.

I don't remember getting much sleep but I feel much more alert today than I have in a long time.

Thanks Jerry.

I like the spare mask idea.

I'll wait the cold out for now. One less variable to worry about.
