Re: New to CPAP, full mask closing nostrils

Well, "Smacky Bottoms" to the NHS for giving you the Escape! I probably wouldn't complain about it, if it was free. which, as I understand it... it is. Taxes, mate, taxes. Yes, they can and often do send equipment out of the US. That's why I recommended them. I know 3 people in the UK that got mach...

Re: New to CPAP, full mask closing nostrils

No humidifier by default btw. I think they might supply one or a different mask but only, knowing the NHS, if I go through months of agony and non-compliance.

Re: New to CPAP, full mask closing nostrils

Ah, you're a star thx Pugsy. I'm not a big lad (though my sister is a midget ), so the setup might work, though I'm guessing new larger pillows. We'll see.
