Re: I loved my ResMed Mirage Swift II Nasal pillows now HATE it

Hi Beth. I have a question: Are you cleaning your nasal pillows every morning, or evening before bed, and washing your face before bed? I found that if I didn't do the above; my pillows would slip, and cause leakage. I was using the Swift LT ( http://www.resmed.com/us/products/swift_lt/swift-lt.html...

Re: Tips for flying with CPAP?

Thanks friends. Im not worried at all about carrying it onboard. My S8 has a wonderful carry bag, and Air Asia asked if I could bring a letter from my physician *tick*. No problem there. I tend to plug my ears, and drop a sleeping pill (very light version) to sleep on aircraft long hauls, and I plan...

Re: Alcohol and BiPAP

If I get drunk I find that I've removed my mask during the night.

Re: Tips for flying with CPAP?

Hi guys. Thanks for all the tips. My question is: Is there anybody here that can share a story of using their CPAP on the actual flight? I have an 8hr flight in the night, and also a 13 hour flight, so I'd really, really like to sleep during most of them. Im flying Air Asia. Today I rang them to see...

Re: ED & libido

Without trying to sound like bragging; I use my CPAP to "get out of" the situation, if Im tired or not up for it. I have this saying with my wife when Im tired and want to go to bed, instead of watching TV, or talking etc. Its: "Oh Im gonna go put my mask on". And I'll trot off to bed. So now when I...

Re: Scared for Sleep Test Study

Absolutely. Thank you John, and Hello! I stumbled across this forum this morning at work after Googling for some answers on "burnt plastic smells" (I absent mindedly let my humidifier run dry). Although I think the smell that followed is from the filter that needs replacing (been in use for 6 months...

Re: Scared for Sleep Test Study

I dragged the chain for ages, until I finally realised that I was not only in denial, but I was affecting the life, and comfort of my closest (Now wife). The snoring was killing her (and I). I was perpetually tired and grumpy, and constantly run down and getting colds etc. After coming home home fro...

Re: CPAP and hangovers

Hi Peeps. Ironic that my first post is to do with Hangovers. Oh well. I certainly have experienced the phenomena of no hangovers since using my CPAP. I have been ucing my machine for 6 months now, and I have only had a hangover after pulling my mask off in my sleep. (I only pull my mask off, ever, w...
