Glad to hear it is working out. I too have not had but the one morning of a bit of blood before I turned on the humidifier. It has been pretty dry here for this area (around 35% hmidity) and with the humidifier running at 1 I have had no more problems.

And Hey don't let the job get you down!! It will still be there no mater what you do. Chin up and smile makes them wonder what you have been up to!

I hear about all these people with low humidity barely turning up their humidifiers. I live in Arizona, where it is obviously dry. And I have to turn my all the way up to 5, which is the next to the last highest setting. I realize each humidifier is different. I don't even get rainout with it that high. There is a click or 2 to the highest setting. If I go that high, I do get rainout.

I think it's more an individual thing, than a climate thing. Blarg loved his on 5 and he lived in PORTLAND! Wulfman lives in Wyoming (dry!) but uses passover only.

Cheers,

This is the very first time I've even peeked into this thread......and I'll be darned.....she's talkin' about me..... (my ears must have been burnin')

I'm sure the dry air picks up some humidity from the water. I have to add about 3/4 of an inch of water about ever 3 - 4 nights. So, it's not like it's REAL dry air that I'm breathing at night. Also, the coolness of the air keeps my nasal passages open. I tried the heated humidification in the very beginning and had so much rainout, that I decided that wasn't for me.

I finally got to reading this and find I'm being mentioned, too . To answer the question, I've never had my nose bleed from the NA II. Just a bit sore inside at first, but it toughened up and I wasn't even using ayr gel after a while.

Lately I've been using the Headrest/Aura/Twilight Multiple Personality Mask. It's my latest favorite, but I do use the NA II as a backup mask and also the Swift sometimes.

It sounds like the bleeding has gone away. I'm glad to hear that!
