Re: New User Confused

Karen Thanks for the comments. I do have an S8 Escape II. I am not undergoing home titration at this point - the distributor of my current machine suggested that if the settings are not correct that in 3 to 4 weeks he could lend me a machine for home titration.

New User Confused

I have had my Resmed S8 CPAP machine with Swift LT nasal pillows for less than a week.. So far it has been a mixed bag. I am getting used to the nasal pillow but find it hard to adjust especially on exhalation. I routinely unconsciously take the headset off during the night - I don't know why but I ...
