Hi Everyone.......Just wanted to thank all who encouraged me when I had to start Bipap a few weeks ago. Getting used to it little by little. Now my RT has ordered me the Cough Assist machine which I begin tomorrow morning. My husband will have to hold the mask on while the RT throws the switch....sounds frightening and I'm not sure I'll sleep tonight. Read other's comments....some say it really helps clear the lungs. Another said it felt like her nose was coming off.....YIKES! Anyone else have experience with this device or have any tips? What next? Sharon
