Lynne: turn off the C-FLEX. Contrary to the hype, C-FLEX is not great for everyone. Turn it off, turn it off, turn it off... NOT just down, turn it off.

You might also want to post some info regarding what pressure range your machine is set at, what mask you are using, humidity use, etc., so that folks can try to help you out.

Buy a new hat, drink a good wine, treat yourself, and someone you love, to a new bauble, live while you are alive... you never know when the mid-town bus is going to have your name written across its front bumper!
