using a borrowed machine

My neighbor has sleep apnea but he does not have insurance therefore can not afford a sleep study. My CPAP machine is set at 11 pressure. Could it hurt my neighbor to use my machine at 11? My thought was, better to have something than nothing. What do you think?

Re: Newbie CPAP w/Oxygen having severe cold symptoms

I changed my nasal pillows mask to a Mirage Liberty w/nasal pillows mask and my cold symptoms are completely gone!!!! Thanks to the member (KimberlyM) that suggested a different mask. I guess the pressure was too great on me just wearing a nasal pillows mask.

Bad hair day!!

For us older ladies that fix our hair the day before going out, how in the world do you wear your CPAP the night before without messing up your hair? Does anyone have any suggestions on this topic?

Mirage Liberty issue

I was having severe "cold" symptoms from the day that I added oxygen to my CPAP on a daily basis. KimberlyM (member in this group) suggested that I use a different mask. I was on the Nasal Pillows mask with a pressure of 11. I have now changed to the Mirage Liberty mask and all the "cold" symptoms a...

Re: Should I ask Santa for a pulse ox?

My stats went to 58 just at night therefore was put on Oxygen (2 liters) at night with CPAP. My pulmonologist checks my O2 every three months. New at all of this CPAP stuff - just curious - what is XPAP?
