Re: Masks for the petite woman- anyone?

Hey there, Babs. I still have the ComfortGel Nasal Mask, but I traded the Mirage Liberty FF Mask in for the Quattro. I am very fortunate in that my insurance has covered everything for me except a $20 co-pay, so I don't know that anything is really mine to sell. How does that work ... any idea? I ju...

Re: Masks for the petite woman- anyone?

Although I am overweight, I have a petite frame and a small face and very small nose. I am fairly new to the cpap thing (started last month) and am already on my third mask. I just got a new one yesterday ... the ResMed Mirage Quattro (size small). Previous to that, I had the Respironics ComfortGel ...

Can I bump up my machine on my own?

I've already learned more from y'all than I have from my sleep doctor or the lab. I called today and got the results of my sleep study (one from five years ago when it was determined I didn't need cpap and one from about three weeks ago when I had another study to titrate to cpap). According to the ...

Congratulations! I am jealous, but hopefully I will soon achieve what you have ... several hours of sleep with cpap each night. Keep on keepin' on!

Thanks so much for your reply. I was looking at the pictures on my profile and realized I chose the wrong machine ... I have the REMstar Pro ... not the REMstar Pro 2. I think two hours is the longest I've been able to keep the mask on so far. I did take the machine into the bonus room the other nig...

Newbie here ... Please help! - PANICKY during night

I'm so glad to have found this forum. I've done quite a bit of reading during the past couple of weeks. During that time, I've also been trying to get used to using a cpap machine. I am so frustrated, scared, worried, etc. In June, I had to go to the E.R. for severe chest pain. My EKG was abnormal s...
