I'll have to check that out. I'm reluctant to use the tape as I'm very sensitive to the adhesive used in them. Even a band-aid will mark up my skin for a week after use.

I will definitely see if the Respironics FitLife is something my doctor will go with. After that, I don't know . . . Maybe discuss with him a nasal mask and some...

Re: How do you change the settings on a ResMed VPAP S?
Having the same issue. The doctor is out until next week, and the pressure is just overwhelming me. I take the mask off in the middle of the night and can't get a restful sleep. How do I turn the pressure down?
