Re: Can I get S9 Elite & P10 Pillows on NHS??

My next scheduled appointment is not until May (although I don't see the point of it if the machine doesn't actual record anything useful). Therefore, I'm going to go in the the next drop-in session on Tuesday afternoon. Hopefully it'll be easy to get some sort of pillow mask even if it's a generati...

Can I get S9 Elite & P10 Pillows on NHS??

I was wondering if any UK NHS CPAP patients had been given an S9 Elite or P10 Nasal Pillows for free on the NHS, or did you have to buy them yourself? I've been given an S9 Escape and Mirage FX Nasal mask, and don't really want to waste my time travelling to my nearest sleep drop-in clinic if they a...

Rooster's pillow position in the Falcon thread is useful, I'll be using that. It's sort of similar in ways to a pil...

Re: Any tips for the newbie phase?

So, having felt like a zombie for most of the day since getting up I took a nap for about an hour and a half and feel a lot better for it. Ended up with a big red mark on my forehead, and the full outline of the mask around my nose, so I guess it's still a bit tight. Julie, thanks for the sock sugge...

Any tips for the newbie phase?

So, last night was night #1 of CPAP. So I started off with my humidifier set to 3.0 and temperature set low (17 degrees I think). After an hour or so, being slightly irritated with the coolness of temperature I increased it, and then increased it again a second time later during the night. I managed...
