Hello to all!!

Post by carolhalverson » Sat Jul 22, 2006 7:29 pm

I've been a lurker on here for some time. i come around to get info but never post. Well, I hope to change that. I have been using my machine since March 2005. It sure makes a difference with staying alert during the daytime hours! I have tried several different masks, my favorites are the comfort curve (with the foam pads used) and the Comfortlite 2. I have a problem with mouth breathing and use a chin strap which I hate!! The tape is out because I have Rocesia and can't have the tape on my face. Anyway, I am going to try the Hybrid for the times that I need a full face mask (stuffy nose etc.). Just wanted to say hi for now. I'll try to get back later!

Carol,

Hello and welcome. It's so nice that you have decided to stop "lurking" and share your experiences with everyone. No matter how small you may think what you have to share is, you never know how large an impact it may make on someone else's treatment. I look forward to seeing more of you on the site.
