Re: Face mask and cheap supplies
Thanks for the info. I'll do that. I do have insurance that covers supplies, but not aware of all the details yet.

Re: Face mask and cheap supplies
You're confusing terms - lots of us use a "full face mask" but that's just like a nasal mask that's extended to cover your mouth as well. What I think you're asking is 'does anyone use a 'Total Face Mask" that covers your whole face (or close to it)... and yes, but very few do as they are leaky a l...

Re: Dry cough, stuffed nose
I've been on benicar, taz tia, don't recall any coughs with those, just this one Lisiprol. No way do I want to live with this type of cough.

Re: Dry cough, stuffed nose
You're right but in this case, I'd rather take my chances with not taking this medication when I have these terrible side effects than to keep on taking them. I'll have to go back to the doctor and re-prescribe some better meds. As soon as possible of course.

MOUTHPIECE
I bought into a mouthpiece, that apparently moves your jaw forward and I instantly knew this wasn't going to work. Waste of 50 bucks. Does anyone know if this really helps anyone?

Re: Backpacking CPAP machines
Yea, I was wondering about how CPAP users do hiking with these things. Camping.

Re: Dry cough, stuffed nose
Some alternatives to Lisinopril are Diovan (Valsartan) or Cozaar (Losartan). I tried Lisinopril over nine years ago and had violent coughing.......I've taken both Diovan and am currently on Losartan. No problems with them. I can't begin to tell you how many CPAP users experience the dry cough with ...

Re: Ticked off a little
Ok, just got the machine. It's a F%P ICON AutoCpap. Kind of small, just tried it for a while, and it's great. I had to pick it up at 3 and go in to work tonight around 8pm, so I'm not going back to sleep until next morning. But I tried it for around 45 minutes laying down, and absolutely a great fit...
