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.

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!

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?

Re: Introduction
So my ramp was set to auto. With a 4 green circle. I turned auto off, and it then started at a 5 green circle. I read Pugsys tips and am still not sure about the humidity. I'll leave at 6 (originally set to 4) and see what happens.
Thanks for your help!
