"Hi Nick thanks. Does it do the job and could you camp with it?"
CPAP Total Face Mask
I was curious whether anyone has used the CPAP Total Face Masks and could pass on their observations? I've been using an Airfit F20 for years which is fine apart from the permanent red mark on the bridge of my nose, and have recently tried the…See More
"I've been using the Resmed Airmini for about 5 years when travelling - overall lightweight and small and can be controlled by an App, but it does produce a loud whistling/wind sound for me which hasn't been reduced by an inline filter or…"
"Hi
It sounds like you need to have more conversations with your sleep clinic. There's little point in having a high pressure if it means you cannot tolerate the machine. There's an interesting video here…"
Pressure waking me up. Belching and wind
HiI'm using the prisma smart max machine. Initially I was just on a nasal mask, this changed as I was sleeping with my mouth open. I then went to face and nose mask and complained of bad wind and belching. Sometimes the pressure in the night was…See More
"Just to tidy this up, I finally had an in-person review by my sleep clinic yesterday, who agreed the ResMed AirSense 10 was "wheezy" and replaced the machine."

"Hi
My first thought is "don't panic"! We're all a bit different, and there are many things that can be tweaked. I took to CPAP therapy like a duck to water, but I've had friends who say they can't cope, but…"
1st time and I’ve failed the mask leak test
Hi everyone, today I received my rental kit - prisma smart max, plus a Philips dreamwear mask which I’ve been wearing unconnected to try and get used to it. I just did a mask fit test using a medium mask and got a constant red/orange leak warning…See More

"Nope, I just accept that some people's throats tend to close when they sleep, due to a loss of muscle tone during deeper sleep. Back when I was diagnosed, the sleep lab just filmed you whilst you slept, stuck an O2 meter on your finger,…"

No worries, let us know when you get it, I would have a look at all machines, there are 3 major brands, F & P, Resmed and Phillips. If your buying it you can get the one you want. I like the Resmed for it's look, it is also the quietest on the market and has no lights. All machines really do the same job, they blow air, so it comes down to look and how it co ordinates with your decor of your room.
Kath, I going very well, I won a huge award at work called the Managing Directors award for Exellence a couple of weeks ago so I'm still over the moon. Does that mean your not using anything at the moment?. Yes that's my machine, I put it on this site to show the manmade hose lift I made. It is the same as the F & P $2,500 but I like the look a bit more. I called her 'Silvie' because she's silver and I slepp with her everynight and she never complains, the perfect woman o/j. Have you been able to work out anything regarding finances? Hope to talk soon, Terry.
Kathryn, just wanted to see if you had any update?
