First Night at Home with CPAP
First Night at Home with CPAP
I was finally able to get some sleep equipment. I ordered a Resmed Airmini and AirSense 10 Auto. I used the Airmini because the AirSense has not come it. The P10 really made the rims of my nose hurt, but I hung in there with it (changed to the Large size). After about an hour this morning the soreness went away. MyAir score was 95/100. I love the way I feel right now and I know its going to get better...

Get some Lansinoh Lanolin Cream and use it until your nares toughen up.
Many here have used it to good effect.
A little goes a long way.

You are doing great! My MyAir score last night after 6 months of CPAP was 82. Next you will want to download and install Oscar viewtopic/t180497/OSCAR-v120-is-released-10102020.html There is more info here than you can imagine and very helpful people.

Hey, you're off to a great start! You're going to love the Airsense 10 Autoset when it arrives. You were smart to go up to a large with the P10; I hope your nose will adjust well, maybe with a tiny dab of Lansinoh, as has been recommended. You might also experiment with how you place the head straps, increasing or decreasing the tightness of the fit.
