My hose goes from the machine to the top of my headboard, and then come down. Only the part from the machine to the top of the headboard has the insulation. The remainder I have wrapped in cotton strips. The only problem I have is if I need to move the machine (which I normally do every weekend.) I ...

I had this issue real bad for a while... So.. 1) I turned down the humidifier 2) I bought some insulation from Lowes and wrapped half the hose with it. I also got a some "cotton strips" and wrapped the rest of the hose make it insulated. 3) I lowered the unit. I had been on the nightstand next to my...

I have been using a full face mask since the end of October. I still wake up a couple of times during the night. I am not getting a full nights sleep. Sometimes when I take the mask off at 2am, I fall back asleep BETTER and EASIER without the mask. I had some real battles with my asthma, and kept ha...

And three hours later my face was wet again, and when I started taking the mask off, IT POURED. I am going to turn the thermostat down, and keep...

I also set the humidifer down to 2... My bedroom stays very warm and is closet to 68-70 at night. I will see what happens ...

I actually already was hanging my hose up on the bedstead, so it is about a foot highere than my head, and the high point is about halfway so the hose runs down to my face. Last night, i cut the humidifer on the machine from from its highest setting down to half... The temps was down to 27 last nigh...

I am having a problem wiht water in my mask. Most nights, I wake up after a couple of hours and hear a gurgling in the hose and then, I start taking the mask off, and it is like a dam breaking. Suddenly' a liquid comes pouring into my mask. Most night I pout about two tablespoons of liquid out of my...

Hi all... My saga continues... I just wen to the DME and he reluctantly agreed to give me the Elite II and let me return the Escape. He continued to say he did not understand how you can see the reuslts on screen without the software or card, so I pulled out the pages from the manual. He started com...

Hey..thanks everybody...I have copied the part of the manual that applies and will take it with me to the DME tomorrow morning. He wants to tell me he called the Dr and checked the prescription, but they did not feel I needed the Elite II, but in the end he said he would do what I want. He just want...

Ok..I have the DME agreeing to switch my Escape to the Elite... he still says there is little difference in the machine and I will need a card and software to get the info I want. But, I understand you can see the data directly on the machine. Can someone give me the info so I can know how to do thi...

I just called my DME...he was not happy when I asked to exchange the Escape for the Elite II. He was honest, and told me that they give the Elite to Medicare patients because apparently medicare requires monitoring, but he said that they give the Escape to insurace patients "because it is cheaper." ...

Hi everybody... Thanks so much for the very useful info. I will be calling my DME today to discuss the change. I really want to know much of the info that was described because I want to see how well this thing is working. When I married my wife 11 years ago, one of the first things she told me was ...
