What humidifier should I get??

Hi there... I have an AutoSet II Resmed EPR... I really need a humidifier...but when I search online I am confused about what type to purchase that will be compatible with the machine.
Thank you for your help.

Re: can't exhale through my nose!!!!

This was helpful...just for contrast... Your machine has no humidifier, no exhalation relief, and no data. No wonder you're having trouble. Now an optional humidifier was available when this machine was new, and it's worth asking the place that lent/gave it to you if they have a humidifier available...

Re: can't exhale through my nose!!!!

Den- I was diagnosed with Upper Airway Resistance Syndrome... not OSA... I was given an APAP machine for a week long trial period, and it helped immensely.. but my insurance doesn't cover one of those.. so NOW I am on an old machine that was donated...but with the same mask that I used with the APAP...

Re: can't exhale through my nose!!!!

With all due respect... I am desperate for sleep and was brought to tears today when my sleep tech said "it is a common problem and you just have to deal with it"... so I am just asking for help... I don't need the laughs at my expense and/or questions.
I appreciate your understanding.

Re: can't exhale through my nose!!!!

Maybe I should invest in a mask with an exhalation port that is specifically made for this machine?

Re: can't exhale through my nose!!!!

This is the machine I am using..

http://www.apneaboard.com/manuals51/REM ... ctions.pdf

I am on pressure 4 that ramps up to 6.

I can breathe fine prior to putting on the machine...no need for a rinse...

My insurance covers NOTHING.
