Re: what does that fancy word for gas feel like
Why do some people continue to attack, correct, comment on someone's reply instead of commenting on the topic of the original poster and address the original poster? Do they think it makes them appear smarter? Is it ego or just a confrontational attitude? lars4life..........would love to message yo...

From Encarta:lars4life wrote:Adjective: tumescent
1. Abnormally distended especially by fluids or gas
what were you thinking?
Tumescent: swollen or showing signs of swelling, usually as a result of a buildup of blood or water within body tissues

In health care, that word is usually used for something other than gas or bloating.....totally unrelated to this forum......lars4life: tumescent

Re: No responses
Honestly, I saw your post. I have the Swift FX..........but have not ever heard of the Swift Lite. I wondered if you meant the Swift LT....but figured if you didn't even know the name and hadn't answered the other questions, my input didn't matter either. Information goes both ways...........felt it...

Re: Any tips other than blue tape or chin strap?
I use a simple, boil & bite mouthguard from WalMart. $1
It fits over my upper teeth. For whatever reason, it keeps my mouth closed at night and my therapy leak free consistently.
I went with tape for a long time, I tried the pap cap without success...........but I really like this solution.

Re: New Problem for Long Term CPAP User
Please register with your equipment, pressures, etc for more assistance........ It could be any number of things including the obvious--you truly are not getting enough oxygen.

These are the summary graphs that Madalot presumably has several copies of now........it's the raw data for other's to interpret that she is seeking.avi123: This Doc came ready with graphs of my sleep study results and explained them to me, and also gave me some to take with me.

Re: Problems with Swift LT for Her pillows leaking
It happens now and then........but if it's happening regularly during the night, you might want to try a larger size pillow. It was an answer for me as I increased pressure. Unfortunately some pillows only last a couple weeks, others lasts months--and I cannot tell the difference up front. I do use ...
