Sore spot on the bridge of my nose
Does anyone else's mask cause a sore spot on the bridge of your nose? What do you do to solve this problem?

Condensation in mask
I've had to turn up the humidifier because my mouth was a desert after a few hours with the cpap on. The problem now is that I get condensation in my mask which is annoying. I have a Respironics Comfort Gel mask. I just got a chin strap to keep my mouth closed which seems to help with the dry mouth....

Thanks Ted. What a great name, isn't it? My doctor insisted that I go through a DME to get my machine. His logic was that it wasn't costing me anything, so why not? He said if I was paying out of pocket, it would be worth it to go online. Sounds like the insurance companies are getting ripped off. I...

Do you need a prescription to buy a mask?
My doctor prescribed the Respironics comfort gel mask which I will try when I get my machine. I've read so much about the Activa mask that I would like to try that one if the Respironics mask doesn't work well. I would just like to buy it without going back to my doctor if possible.

I have my test results
My doctor says I have mild to moderate OSA. He recommends that I use a cpap with cflex for 4 to 6 weeks to see if I notice any improvement. I have a copy of my results but don't know what to post that would be considered important. Ask and I'll post. My doctor was very helpful but I still have a few...

In reading the info on cpap.com and here, I'm confused about one thing in particular. Auto-pap vs. bi-pap. It is my understanding that bi-pap (or more generally, bi-level), provides two different pressure levels: a higher one for inhalation and a lower one for exhalation. Auto-pap adjusts the pressu...
