I tried to find info under search but nothing came up so I will leave it to you guys. I am trying to decide which Travel type CPAP machine I want to purchase for traveling and as a back up machine in case I have a problem with my main unit. Has anyone used any of these machines or do you have any su...

I to have a full beard and use the umff with no problems. The important thing is to be sure to get a proper fit when you purchase the mask.

Artwood,
The main thing is to get a good fit no matter which mask you use and most if not all of your problems will be solved. Unfortunally this usually requires trial and error and a few dollars. I bought 6 mask before I got it right.

The machine I have is the Remstar Pro2 c-flex with a heated humidifier. The machine is set at 12/8 and the humidifier is at 2. I use the UMFF and I do not have any leaks or rainout. I also used the fitting guide on CPAP.COM but I descovered the expensive way that the guide was one size too big for m...

High Artwood, I also have acid reflux and sufferred for around 50 years until a doctor gave me a script for Nexium. I take one 40mg pill the first thing every morning and I eat anything and everything and no more reflux. I had my pipes scoped a month ago and everything has healed and looking good. I...

I purchased a Comfort Curve and tried everything I could think of to keep it from leaking but nothing worked. When I did get it to work for a short time it was great, light weight, no noise and confortable. Then one side or the other would slip off the side of my nose and there was a major blow-out....

Bad Hair Nights. Well first I would have to grow some to have that problem but to keep what fuzz I do have under control and to protect the bare surface from the cold I keep a hat close by for my public appearances. Grandkids are fascinated by any kind of contraption with lights, buttons to push or ...

My equipment has been safe so far but a few years ago one of my sweet little girls ate my hearing aids. My $800.00 bulldog quickly turned into a $6,000.00 pup. Needless to say she gets the best of care being she is worth so much.

I gave up and decided to go ahead and purchase the Activa and also the Aura instead of waiting on insurance. When I filled out the sizing info on the cpap.com order page it told me that the Activa was not suitable for my size so I just ordered the Aura and it should be here today or tomorrow. Even w...

I thank you all so much for your help. The links are great and entertaining. I have read through a bunch of them already but it will take some time to absorb them all, again thanks for the help.

Hi Linda,
Its me ,Im back again, After reading your reply I looked around again and finally found the search button. I have looked for one before but I guess I could not see it for all the other clutter. Anyway I tried it and found a world of info on what I was looking for, thank you.

Thank you Linda, I just looked at the Aura and will look into it some more. The picture I just looked at looks like it would be top heavy and not want to stay in place but I am sure that is not the way it is. If the other is noisy I sure don't want it, I worry too much now about keeping my wife awak...

Hi Patrick & Rested, My wife is the one doing so good after the surgery but I am getting it done as soon as my doctors can all get together and agree. I have some problems with cancer that are slowing things down but I am also diabetic and weighed 331 the last weigh-in so I think it is time to stop ...

I have been looking back in previous posts for info about the Nasal-Pap Freestyle mask and have not found anything. If any readers have had experience with this mask please let me know how it worked for you. I am considering this or the Breeze for my next mask.

I am new to cpap and have been using for two months now. I had a rough time getting the mask adjusted and even tried a different mask but went back to the first one. Before cpap I wasted many years not sleeping for two to three weeks at a time and now I sleep anytime I lay down with the machine. The...
