Re: New CPAP User - Advice Sought (Sleephead Data)

I'm a new user too, have only had my machine for about a month and I am just not liking my Dreamwear nasal mask.

New CPAP User - Advice Sought (Sleephead Data)
Hello All, I've been using my Philips Respironics DreamStation Auto CPAP since July 13 and it has been a struggle to get it working for me.

Needless to say, I am anxious to get this under control. I was given a CPAP machine (Phillips Respironics Auto). The prescribed star...
