None of you EVER need feel alone, as we're here to help - especially those of us who are now successful on CPAP.  Keep remembering that it wasn't easy for a lot of us at the beginning though, and it WILL get better with help from your clinic and us on here.

Love the way you've put how miserable you feel Linda, followed by a LOL :-D  We do have to have humour with CPAP don't we?

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
