Post by FatiguedMe » Fri May 29, 2009 2:09 pm

Ok I have been into my machine BUT the only thing I have changed is my c-flex I turned it off. Is this ok to do? I won't be changing anything else without my MDs advice.
Thanks Bunches

Turning the cflex off is a matter of choice for many. It does not change your prescription. With the cflex on, it will reduce the pressure you are breathing out against, and depending on your pressure setting, it may may it more comfortable for you to exhale. It is a matter of personal choice. THe RT may have set uo your machine so that you can turn it on and off as a patient option.
