Re: one more question about chin straps

Re: Changing From Nasal Mask to Nasal Pillow...Pressure Question
G'day All, Having recently made the switch successfully, I can offer a couple of things. (1) Use "Bactroban Nasal Cream" to limit nasal constriction and help lubricate and seal the pillows to your nostrils.

Re: ResScan won't recognize ACR38U reader
G'day Everyone, This, like many on this forum is my first post. I too have had to deal with this same problem, and so has my son.
