Running Low on Water

Well, I wanted to see if any of you have this issue. I have raised my Humidity Level to 4, due to frequent dry mouth, which im pretty sure isnt related to open mouth. I have a setting of 9 on the cpap. Today, I woke up after about 5 hrs of sleep, and noticed my full tank, was actually empty. This me...

Re: Review: Respironics TrueBlue Nasal Mask

I had seen those. I just thought I would post here among the community and give my take. If one thinks i should just stick to the purchase site, that would be good as well. In all honesty, I prefer to look at the forum for all my information.

Review: Respironics TrueBlue Nasal Mask

Well Im not the best at reviews, but I havent seen a great deal of information on the Respironics TrueBlue Nasal Mask. Just wanted to give you all a heads up that I should be receiving it next week. Hopefully I dont have any skin issues like the last Respironics mask. I do primarily side sleep, so s...

Re: TRAVELS WITH MY CPAP

I just flew within Texas last week. I took my CPAP on without an issue. I placed it on the conveyer belt, never unzipped it, and was never asked about it. I was actually shocked it was that easy. Do not confuse the security rules and processes with the actual getting on the plane. Security and the ...

Re: Aspartame back in the news - serious side effects

I have been on a No Carb diet for over three months now and have lost over 50lbs. Its amazing to me to see the amount of un necessary sugar intake in this country. I have not had any type of sugar than what comes from a few vegetables. I have drank water for the entire 3 months, and while the taste ...

Re: Resperonics True Blue Nasal Mask

I saw this email and was really interested. Your sizing issue has me a bit scared now. I wonder if they will send out a sizing guide before you buy to insure proper fit.

Mask Sizing

I have a question for you all. I had a Medium Respironics ComfortGel Nasal mask that made my skin break out. I picked up the ResMed Mirage Softgel in its place and the DME gave me a Large even thought he other mask was a Medium. He said that that was the actual sizing of the mask. I have used it for...

My Nose Itches

I am using the Mirage SoftGel nasal mask. THis night, which was only about 4 hours long, i noticed my nose was itching a great deal . It kept actually waking me up. I was wondering, if I were to put Lanolish on my nose and nasal bridge area, would this cause any harm to the mask itself? Would the La...

Weird leak on the FX

So I have been using the the Medium mask on the FX. Last night, I noticed the left nare seemed to be leaking a bit. This had not happened before. It wasnt major, but it was preventing me from sleeping due to my thinking about it. I swapped down to the Small, which was a suprise to me that it actuall...

Re: its 3am whose here

My uncle is on CPAP. I knew him to fall asleep while driving as a child. He would nap constantly. He started CPAP and had 6+ hrs of constant sleep. When i told him i was going to CPAP all he could tell me was the immediate relief. Well...nuts to that. Like i said, this is more of a venting, but it h...

its 3am whose here

Sadly, it is 3 am and I am wide awake. Went to bed at 11pm and woke up at 2am. I cant seem to sleep at all. One week into therapy, and im not seeing these dramatic effects on rest. Im still tired during the day, and could lay down and nap without issue. I know it is still early in the therapy, but i...

Re: Wow, thats a bad sunburn!!

I was really prefering the Mask over the Pillow too. My forehead is steel BEET RED. It really hurts too. im hesitant about wearing a mask that will cause all these discolorations. the bridge of my nose is rather red as well. im thinking about possibly asking to try the 35 Mirage SoftGel Nasal CPAP. ...

Wow, thats a bad sunburn!!

I used the 15 ComfortGel Nasal CPAP Mask for two days. Day one was no real issue, but day two was something different. I didnt feel that I over tightened anything, but when I went to work, everyone commented on my sunburn. Well i have a beautiful rectangular shaped red mark across my forehead and on...
