Runny Nose and Nose Bleeds

You guys told me that my nose problem was probably caused by my humidifier not being turned up enough. My DME also agreed with this solution.

You were all right on the mark !!!

I cranked it up to the top end and my problem, for the most part, is gone. OH, I still get the odd sniffle and sneeze but what the heck.

My question now is this... ??? I fill my humidifier tank before bed time. It takes about a cup and a half of distilled water. When I awake at about 4:00am for my pee break, the tank is almost empty. I have to fill it again.
I get up at about 9:00am in the morning and the tank is almost empty again. Is this normal ??? Should I be using that much water ??? Is it safe for my body to be absorbing that much liquid each night ???

Thanks for any response.

Perfectly safe as long as you are not drowning ... about 2/3 of your body weight is water after all.

You may want to check to make certain your reservoir is not leaking water anywhere ... the M series were know to do that when they first came out.

Are you sure you don't have a lot of mask leaks? If your mask is leaking alot you would use more water.
