sleepyhead, thanks for your reply. I suppose that makes sense. I'm having a general anesthetic, so maybe they want me to bring it so I can use it after surgery, before I wake up. I'm just wondering how my mask will feel on my face at that time? I have a nasal mask, as well as a ffm. I guess I'll fin...

Okay, now I'll take your educated guesses.

At any rate, the point here is spam. I think your idea is the best one, Johnny, but I'd change it just a bit: (1) no guest or unregistered person may have the "report spam" button; (2) a registered member will be given the "report spam" button only after he's/she's been a member for six months. Tha...

I haven't read through all the suggestions, so maybe it's already been said, but here's my thoughts... 1. Have the 'forum etiquette' (i.e., rules) posted somewhere that's clearly visible; require new sign-ups to state they've read them (not that they actually will, but then they're accountable). 2. ...

On Monday (Mar. 2) I'm having endoscopic sinus surgery with a possible septioplasty. Yesterday, I had a pre-registration phone conference with a nurse and when I told her that I had OSA she told me to bring my CPAP to my surgery. I asked her why, and she basically just repeated the fact that I need ...

I'm going in on Monday (March 2) for endoscopic sinus surgery with possible septoplasty. Reading through this thread was very informative.

Great quote! I'm using that someday soon.

In this country we get a slightly distorted view of American politics, so I'm interested in a consensus of views about George Bush. Was he good for his country, for the world? What is his legacy? K I'm afraid that we might get a slightly distorted view of Australian politics as well. I'm interested...

Thanks, Den and PapDaddy. I did say I wanted to "stir the pot" but I didn't mean I wanted to get the pot to boiling and get kicked out of the meeting!!! At this point I just want to get the apnea patients THINKING! Hopefully, eventually we'll get them thinking for themselves. My impression of the s...

any medical folks in the know can tell me why 1 minute the nose can be clear and the next 1 side is plugged. then after awhile the other side is blocked vice versa ? also when i sit straight up with head down nose wants to drip like a leaky faucet ? been like that forever. thanks, tim I've had this...

I now use the Saginaw office of Sheldon Medical Supply, they cover maybe 2/3 of Michigan. . . . They were really great about trying masks until I found THE RIGHT one for me. I've had absolutely NO PROBLEMS w/them and everyone is friendly, courteous and helpful. Amen to that! I've been using Sheldon...

Alright... I tried the Mirage Quattro and liked it, but he only had a medium and large. It looks like I need a small. He'll be back in my area next week, so I am trying an Ultra Mirage (small) for the next week. If I don't like it, or if I'm at least curious about the Quattro, I can exchange them ne...

I'm at home. I was originally given the same nasal mask that I titrated with (flexifit HC 407). I like it, but I have chronic sinusitis and that's caused me to be non-compliant many many nights. I'm working with an ENT doctor on the sinus stuff, but feel I need a full-face mask for stuffy nights. He...

I'm sitting here, waiting for a guy to show up with a bunch of full-face masks for me to try out. I can't wait for him to show up. I can't wait to sleep tonight. That's all.
