Changing Mask
First of all I have a Resmed S8 Elite and started using the nasal mask right off the bat. I was have having some trouble adjusting to the mask and remarked the same to a friend when telling him I had started CPAP. He told me he has an extra Innomed Nasal-Aire system that I could have.

The less sleep, the better
Hello, I've been struggling with daytime fatigue for over 10 years now (I'm just over 30). It seemed to start slowly in my late teens after a couple years of university with no obvious initiating event(s). I was swimming competitively 5 hours every day at the time (and had been for years) but about a year late... 16 Jul 2006 18:52

CPAP has not worked for me...
I have had my CPAP machine for over a year. For some reason, I tend to take the mask off in the middle of the night. I seem to unconsciously (or partially consciously) pull the mask off.

Respironics blue gel discoloration
Has anyone else experienced this? The blue gel of my Respironics mask is becoming discolored, as if it's losing dye. It's turning amber. I wash it regularly, and I haven't noticed any blue tint on my face. Is this normal? Do I have a bad mask? Am I absorbing dye? ** Captain Infinity ... 6 Jun 2006 22:01

Full Face Masks
Apologies if this has been asked before, but are there any recommendations for 'best' full face mask? I use the Resmed one, and it's OK but not a perfect fit, and I do wonder if the grass is greener on the other side of the fence. I am in the UK, and I am not sure if there are any fitting centres where one can... 6 Jun 2006 11:04
