I joined the forum about a week before i was diagnosed with osa. I felt imtired was an appropriate name. When i got here i saw many people making hosehead comments, and being from canada the avatar made sense for the hoser reference. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w1RN3cY ... re=related

if you find the nasal pillows painful you may have them too tight. they barely need to touch to seal properly. you just need to get used to moving in ways that your mask doesnt come off which can take a few weeks to get used to.

I love my S8 Autoset II. if i was to replace it i would probably get the S9. avoid anything with the word escape in it. this machine does not record anything useful only verifies that you are using it.
