Add me to those who are not enjoying the open-thread-in new-tab thing. It's definitely a pain. Yes, I can close the new tab and return to the original tab where I left the index displayed, but then I have to refresh that tab to see what changes have occurred in the index since I last read it. That w...

Congratulations on sticking with it!
Hoping your treatment continues to be successful,

Links used to automatically open in a new tab. I prefer a new tab . . .

I would also like to have a link to the main forum page at the top and not just the bottom.

+1 for both of these ideas!

The emails I receive to alert me to new posts on threads to which I have responded no longer have live links to click to easily get to the forum to read the new materials. The URLs are there, but all run together within one paragraph, so it's become a fussy thing to highlight the relevant one. Proba...

OH! Just noticed that when I posted my reply to Pugsy, I was taken automatically back to the thread. I like that a lot!!

Anyone else having a problem with the little red "take me to unread post" thing? When thread is 1 page it works for me but seems like when more than 1 page all I go to is the first page. Yes, same here; and then I used "first unread post" at top of page 1, which worked. But it would be nice to have...

When I had leakage into the eyes, I wore a sleep mask to cover them. After I made those strap adjustments I described, I've pretty much eliminated those leaks.

Good luck with your experiments, and let us know how they go.

You could google "death by suffocation apnea" or search the Pubmed Central database at NCBI for reports. Here are a few items I found: http://www.cpaptalk.com/viewtopic.php?f=1&t=29402&st=0&sk=t&sd=a, a discussion here on the forum https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/23865847, note the opening sente...

I would be concerned that altering the frame would compromise a good fit. The four points of connection to the headgear provide a really stable structure for the cushion to float in, without leaks. If you break the frame to insert something, you are creating weaknesses at the points where you fasten...

I wonder what would be the forensic evidence to support the idea of death as a direct result of "suffocating on their own windpipe"? Is there any such evidence? https://www.sleepapnea.org/carrie-fisher-yes-you-can-die-from-sleep-apnea/ This article arising from Carrie Fisher's death discusses how sl...

I keep spares, and do a bunch at a time.

A new laundry sorting category: darks, brights, whites, heavy, delicates, headgear!

Does this new mask have a name yet??

Maybe a person could modify the back strap, so that instead of it going around the lower neck, it could use "ear-loops" to go around the ears on each side instead and stay on that way... So, that strap would now become TWO straps, one on each side at only a slightly higher angle. Then it wouldn't n...

As I'm on disability, I wouldn't be able to afford one of the other two brands. . .there's no trying to finance it on my own unless someone knows of a grant somewhere I can apply for.

Welcome to the forum. I'm guessing from your username that you're in a northern or eastern part of BC? You said: "I was given no input." It is a truth often acknowledged on this forum that sleep apnea patients need to learn to advocate for themselves both on the treatment end of things and on the eq...
