I had my last one for 15 years or so. Bought that model a couple of months ago.

I didn't have any issues adjusting to breathing through my nose when I slept. The forced air to my nose would do weird things if I opened my mouth, more comical than anything. But that part of it was pretty seamless. I wasn't allowed to actually get fitted by the cpap provider because at the time everybody was afraid of covid and I couldn't even go in the store. They literally brought it out to my car, gave me some quick how-to's and sent me on my way. I think I got the fit pretty close on my own anyway. The machine reported zero leaks when I had my followup with the pulmo. They set me up with a Phillips Dreamstation. Not sure how it stacks up to the ResMed, the ResMed is the one I seem to see more people talking about having. I can't complain about what I have though, it seems to do the job well. |

the Resmed models mentioned are the workhorses. They get the job done without a bunch of useless bells and whistles that run the cost up. They have been around for awhile. When you do a search you’ll find lots of praise for those models.

You guys are on this. Did someone tell you about those tips or did you guys figure it out on your own?

The med supply company I got my cpap from mentioned using the ointment. I'm sure anything like lanolin, etc would have achieved the same thing in softening the chapped skin. It resolved the chapping in short order.

i've had this model for about 4 years, i think...it's great
they call me every 3 months and send new hose, new filters and nose mask. then every 6 months, i get a new water tank. i guess it has a chip in it so the insurance company can monitor how much i'm using it so they keep paying for everything. sec

Naps are the hard part. I would say keep them short-if you don't breathe at night, you will not during a nap. Have heard of a few wearing their cpap during a mask.
Heard of one person that had two. Would wear it while watching tv-he relaxed so much at time he would forget to breathe.
