Re: ResMed S9 AutoSet vs. Respironics PR System One REMStar 60 S
Ive only ever tried the s9 but so far so good for me. I dont get alot of leaks with my full face mask. Provided I was it and my face before bed with ivory bar soap.. otherwise I get alot of leaks and the wipes dont help.

Re: New to cpap looking for support
Thank you John! That really gives me a different look at things thats for sure. And your right he would not look at me in disgust if I had a broken leg. I guess I should stop thinking about my looks and be happy I have a way to feel healthy!
