I have tremendous side effects fr...

Sister - that sounds like a good idea. I will try to figure out how to do it. By the way, do you have issues with your nose being stuffy and throat dry? I have increased my humidity setting but I run out of water around 4am. My machine is from 2006. I never had the stuffy nose problem till started ...

Yes, cflame, I have tried the Small and use it from time to time. The air flow feels fine with it but it leaks some and is mostly too big. I guess I'm in between the xs and s. I'm a "half size"! HPM Hi, I have the same problems as you describe. I am using the small now but to keep it from leaking I...

Sister? See if you can get an A1C done... and probably some other tests. Between them all the docs should be able to tell if you really have diabetes. Hi "cflame1" I wanted to thank you for your post and let you know that I did have an AIC done and a complete panel of bloodwork and they didn't find...

I am so sorry about your husband.You are so right,people need to speak up and find a better way to treat this dreadful disease.Only the people that suffer know how hard it is.I asked my dr. once if he had ever slept with a c-pap machine,he said no,I said well you should,just for one night so you wou...

Hi Kelly, I just really know that you haven't found the perfect mask for you yet. I went through so much for 5 years,had the surgery,almost gave up,and then finally a few months ago I fell in love with the swift fx for her! Think of it as your best friend and each night as you put it on thank GOD th...

Congratulations!!!!
The best of luck to you!

Thanks so much Judy,I'm sorry that you are having problems too. I have also had many problems with the mask and have just recently been able to use the swift fx after 5 years of failure with everything else I tried.It's a hard battle. But then with everything else that's happened to me since Februar...

Sister It's sad to hear you are still having difficulties, will start praying again for you.

SleepingUgly, I overcame it by tilting my chin away from my chest. I was trying to think about how to inprove the airway and thought about old fashioned First Aid Mouth to Mouth Respiration. One of the first things you do is to tilt the head back. I do not sleep on my back but I figured I would try...
