Just Starting the Journey

Hi there,

I'm very new to all of this--don't even have my machine yet. I am scheduled to go to a class and get my machine on Thursday morning. Guess I'm one of the lucky ones because I have 100% coverage (God bless Kasier!)

I had a horrible time with the equipment during the testing--how the heck can you sleep with all the tubes and junk--my dog wouldn't even come near me! So my question is this: do they let you pick the type of mask you want? I've done some research and either the Nasal Aire I or II looks the best in terms of comfort--it goes into and around your nose and the hoses go over your ears and around to the front of your neck--no head gear! Does anyone know anything about this mask? It appears to be cheaper than the larger more cumbersome ones with the head gear so I should think there would be some leeway in choosing if I have a choice. I've also been told that the Profile Lite is pretty good but still has all the cumbersome hoses and headgear which I'd like to avoid if at all possible.

Thanks in advance.

Hi Chris,

Welcome to the forum. Try posting your questions about the nasal-aire in the CPAP and Sleep Apnea forum of cpaptalk. People monitor that more frequently and you may get more response.

Good luck on your journey!

I certainly will do that. I really hope I have some options when I go in.

Hi Kimm here, I put a message in over on the other board or whatever, its called, lol! to introduce myself, where you discuss sleep apnea, I didnt see this til after I posted over there, so you can read that there...
