Hi all tonight is the night for a newcommer to join my fellow sleepers with my machine i am setting up beside my bed on table and all the hoses behind my pillos I was given the res med with nasal pillows it is set on 3 and the card that downloads the info is being mailed tomorrow. The DME was so nice and left me with instructions to fill machine with distilled water. I will let you know more tomorrow or tonight if I get up and pace in the middle of the night . All the suggestions would be appreciated and I am grateful for everyones help one night at a time lori

please let me know the name of the mask you're getting with the xtra small nasal pillows. the only one i'm aware of that has that is the LT for Her by Resmed. but if there's another one, i'd really like to know. thanks.
