Re: Dealing with mask laceration of nose

In a pinch just do what moms & pops have done for kid's cuts and scrapes for a hundred + years... simple BandAid. Works like a charm temporarily, semi-permanently or permanently and easily available globally

Re: Goldstream DeepSleep Mouth Dam Instead of Taping

When I was experimenting with the DW Nasal & pillow masks I kept experiencing tape failure for a myriad of reasons with everything including 3M plastic, paper, cloth, surgical, microbial and even duct & shipping tape. Went to my off-premise storage unit and snagged my silicone Mares JAX snorkel/regu...

Re: Autoset 10 didn't send info yesterday....

Thanks guys! (not gender-specific as I know this can be a tough room). Just confirming if my machine had a communications issue since the "technical difficulties" site banner didn't appear (for me) until this morning.

Autoset 10 didn't send info yesterday....

So I popped the SD and all data was available via SH and not remarkable/different in any way. Pored over the machine and all ostensible/potential communications issues checked out perfectly at my end, ie; not in airplane mode, plenty of signal bars illuminated, yadda-yadda. This morning I wake up, w...

Re: VA inexplicability.....

<<"Thank you for your service"-- Worst possible way to say thanks . . .>> No ma'm, actually its not. Its incredibly warm, kind-hearted and much appreciated... thank YOU! That particular ugly distinction of which you speak came from the crowds of American protesters gathered 24/7 at most major U. S. ...

VA inexplicability.....

After attempting to renew my VA bi-annual mask & accessories replacement items, ie; filters/ClimateLine Air/Oxy hose etc yesterday I was told I could get a standard DW nasal or Gel setup but not the FFM option. This morning my VA CPAP tech called back and said "maybe she can and will try" and that s...

Re: Questions regarding Dreamwear Nasal mask...

Received the DW nasal mask today but the Gel mask was a no-show in spite of mirroring the nasal mask's travel every step from Houston to Denver. Just as well since I can only wear one mask at a time. Tried to grab an hour-forty nap this afternoon but quickly learned going from full-face to nasal is ...

Re: Questions regarding Dreamwear Nasal mask...

Immense thanks to both! I sorta get the feeling that once again I'll likely take advantage advantage of the mask return policy as far as basic DW nasal mask goes given its likely prone to some of the newest-style DWFFM drawbacks I personally experienced, ie; slipping & sliding under my nose and occa...

Questions regarding Dreamwear Nasal mask...

I returned my new Dreamwear FFM a few weeks back for no other reason than I preferred the F20 I began with on this journey near the beginning of the year. Given the option of both masks at bedtime I always reached for the F20 in spite of wearing/liking the DWFFM. Although the F20 had proved to cause...

Re: My teeth hurt??

Thank you Ms Frog and as my pulmonologist said when told of my issue: "a sealed mask is a sealed mask and we can argue with many things however success shouldn't be counted among them." And I think most people here, Ms Frog & OP inclusive recognize a parable on sight and especially one addressed spe...

Re: My teeth hurt??

As one that has personally experienced this half a dozen or so times since I can clearly relate. And while it seems like tooth pain I think palpating/massaging gums below lower front teeth you'll establish its actually gum pain more than actual tooth pain. Early on I was able to pinpoint a cause due...

Respectfully granny I thought I clicked EVERY option at the site you provided and couldn't find it but was quick to say I didn't deny its existence. Can you tell me specifically which button I need to click to see their results? Thank you ma'am. *UPDATE* nevermind, I see it now in your above post. T...

Re: Renowned Sleep Expert Dr. Jerrold Kram to Present New Sleep Apnea Treatment by Sommetrics at SLEEP 2018

After spending almost 2 hours researching this I can still find no USFDA acceptance for this on even a limited basis. Can't say it doesn't exist so much as I just can't find it and I'd love to see it, learn more. Additionally while I have seen pictures of 3 people wearing it they ostensibly seem to ...
