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…"

Hi Carol, sorry I haven't sorted out how to send and receive personal messages properly. Do you know about Dr Steven Park's teleseminars? Dr Park is an ENT surgeon in New York with both a personal and professional interest in sleep apnoea. His talks and interviews with experts in the field are really worth listening to. His next talk is on Wednesday May 11th and is about apnoea in children.
His web site is http://doctorstevenpark.com
