"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."

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

ResMed AirSense 10 getting noisy
HelloI have an NHS issued ResMed AirSense 10 with heated humidifier. In the last couple of weeks, it's developed an annoying noise, when I inhale. It bothers me a little and my partner a lot! I sometimes get problems if the water container in the…See More

My first question is why is condensation forming? I very occasionally get some condensation, may be once a month, but I can quickly run a finger around the inside of the mask, and wipe it away. I use a nasal mask, with the humidifier…"

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?
