Re: has anyone tried this mask?

SharkBait perhaps if rustynail is still around they could let us know if this mask lasted, as their post was 2005.
Not all things that don't have 'the ' name tag are junk.

Re: has anyone tried this mask?

after reading both links , thanks to ainsle14 and RipVW, I agree with sharperjudy, this reads too good so why isn't the list of users huge? Is it the price or is there a disadvantage to using it? seems to me that it would solve a lot of problems to do with strap marks, sore noses, mask leaks etc. al...

Re: 5 nights of daily data - for Barbe

Well I changed the pressure up to 12.5 last night and the ramp to 15mins instead of 5. http://i414.photobucket.com/albums/pp221/BarBe_bucket/nov13-1420081.jpg At around 3am B took the chin strap off as it was itchy and annoying . His leak line looks weird - what does that mean ? ( apart from he prob...

Re: 5 nights of daily data - for Barbe

hi ozij, thanks for your input.
we are using A-flex not C-flex. should we change to c-flex? but only after being at 12.5 (if good) for a few days.
B doesn't do logs, it's me that has to keep notes on whats happening and how he's doing. I already do that.

Re: 5 nights of daily data - for Barbe

hey Snoredog, thanks for your help. B doesn't have any allergies, that I know of but to doubly make sure will try your suggestion of Claritin ( if I can buy it in Australia). We've never known him to have allergies but then again unless your looking for something in particular you never can tell. (h...
