I take mine away with me in our caravan, I feel too guilty if I dont take it. It's probably different for me as I had surgery on my nose a few years ago and one nostril has collapsed and gets almost no air in - the nasal plugs keep the nostril open and air flowing. I used to toy about just shoiving a stint(?) up to get more air overnight. Once a month in any event I reluctantly reward myself with a night off - but seriously, I took to the machine like a duck to water and still look forward to going to bed to sleep with the mask on. My only frustration is ending up in the morning with either the mask thrown away from the bed, or getting into a patterned turning over routine during the night and waking up with 3 coils of the tube around my neck :))

Ha ha - I have one of those nostrils too so I just went with the face mask - I think my nostril issue is bony. Before I went to the sleep doc my BP went up 20 pts - for no apparent reason except I was too tired to exercise. After - it went right back down. That was enough incentive for me. I like my machine too.

Hello DeanAnn ~

Here's some info for a medical tag: directhomemedical.com 888-505-0212 Med ID Tag for travel $6.95 & $8.95.
And I'd like to ask you a question regarding your experience with the ORACLE 452 Oral Mask - would you let me know what your pressure is - and if you use the nasal portion as well?

Thanks for your post,
Renee

I heard that there is a medical tag you can get to put on the case especially for airport travelers. I saw it once but haven't looked into just yet.

I bring my CPAP machine on vacation with me. I also have a brief encounter with airport security, but it is always better to have it with me.

Renee,
My pressure is 12. I use a summer's nose clip instead of the ones that came with the mask. Of all the masks this one is the best for me since I have very small bone structure. Thanks for the info about the tags.
