The Philips Nuance is my first mask and I have been a CPAP user now for 2 1/2 months. The velcro on the Nuance model has been coming loose in the night for a few weeks. With my insurance I am suppose make my masks last for six months. Does anyone have experience with the Nuance Pro or a different na...

I have been a CPAP patient for six weeks. My HMO cancelled in house sleep studies. I came in and picked up a monitor for my finger and dropped it off the next morning. They were able have a machine ready for me with the right RX from that monitor. I am sure many other clinics tec. are doing the sam...

Ok

I was dosing off after breakfast and feeling tired most of the time. When I worked out it only made me feel worse. Really started to get crazy this October. I had my pulse and blood pressure going nuts. I would be sitting still and suddenly feel like I had drank two pots of coffee. I was in the ER f...

Marylander, The sleep clinic at my HMO told me not to use any product that have petroleum. I haven't asked why in detail but I have found a few warnings from medical write ups including Mayo Clinic. It appears you can put Vicks on a tissue outside of the input on the machine but you are never are su...

Thanks Zonker for your settings!

Pugsy, What are you temp and humidity setting in Winter? I take no medications not even over the counter. I only take a probiotic and a multi-vitamin in the morning.

Does anybody out there use the heat Climate Line hose for the AirSense 10? Should I go back to the regular hose? What humidity setting are you using this time of year?

Thanks Marylander, Did you ever used the heated hose? The weather changed but I live in San Diego and my furnance only kicks on in the early morning. As much as it kicks on I wouldn't think that should add add too much to my dryness. I have been running a portable humidifier but not in the bedroom w...

Does anyone ever feel hyper or overcharged from the PAP theory? I have from time to time (like today). It's like I got too much from it. I have from the start try to get seven hours of time on the machine at night.

I find that Lanisoh (name brand for lanolin) works very well to prevent dryness brought on by pap use. I put a tiny amount on the end of each pinky finger, then spread that from the opening of each nostril to as far as I can reach. Lanisoh is sold in the baby areas of any drug store or stores like ...

Do you stay up all night learning all of this stuff? :D :!: Pugsy I did have a better night. Less dryness last night with a setting of 80 degrees on my temp and humidity on 5. Though I did wake up about an hour and half after i laid down for the night with my heart pounding a little hard than norma...

Thanks for all your help Pugsy. I really appreciate it. I will try your
setting ideas. Too late to go out and get those items tonight but they will be on my list for tomorrow!

I am experiencing dryness and congestion at the same time if that makes any sense at all. At the moment incredible dryness and partial blockage in both nostrils. I have try saline without much relief. I take no medications. The weather has change some here in San Diego lately. I set my furnace to 64...
