First week over

Well after a rocky start, a lot of learning, a lot of reading, and most importantly, switching out my mask... I am now averaging 7-8 hours with my machine on. Noticing a difference. Thank you all for your help and advice.

Re: Introduction

So, much better last night. Used machine for 5 hrs 52 minutes. No sinus issues. Only problem was a little soreness in the morning due to the mask, and a little air leak when first laying on my side. Thanks to everyone who helped me!

Pale Rider - I like your positive outlook! LOL

Re: Introduction

Well, I can't figure out how to change the pressure. Any suggestions? It does 4 with auto ramp and 5 with ramp off. When you exhale are you supposed to feel like a "pulse" in the mask?

My husband has had his Cpap machine for 5 years now. So I understand the benefits of using the machine....
