Hi, I'm a brand-new CPAP user (less than a week), and I am wondering why everyone who breathes through their mouth doesn't just get the full face mask? That's what they gave me, and I would rather just get used to that instead of trying to tape/glue my mouth shut! "FarAwayDeb" Many folks struggle w...

Great job Chuck - GOOD FOR YOU! I need to take your lead on the getting weight off and exercise levels up. You can only be an inspiration to others.

I have been hosed up EVERY - SINGLE - NIGHT for the last 14 months with two exceptions due to travel and a missing part. Those two nights were enough to tell me that taking a night off was not a good thing. Instant headache, instant parchment mouth, constant brain fog and crushing end of day fatigue...

Bill got me curious.

In 14 months one RT has asked me once for compliance data only.

In 4 visits no doctor has asked.

Despite this, I feel gentle air movement on my face, it is not directly from the exhaust or a leak - could it be the exhaust moving air around it that is making my face tickle? Thanks!!! Wistful Yes, I experience that some times. The Swift really puts out air in the exhaust. It's amazing. I think i...

I hear you. This was my second night on the Opus and when it broke the seal I could not get it to reseal this time with making it so tight I still have the marks and one pillow was 1/3 the way up my nose. I was really happy the night before last but last night was a trick! It's a Swift night tonight...

Not if you buy a combo with heated humidifier etc., then it is about $25 cheaper.

I like my tank - vroom, vroom - BANG!

Large leaked like crazeeeee for me too but mediums work fine. I use large on the Swift.

"different strokes" as they say.

The Swift has been my trusted interface of choice for 14 months now. It has served me very well. I have tried Comfort Classic (a disaster for me) Aura/Headrest/Twilight (didn't feel good, believe I'm sensitive to poor CO2 clearance) Activa (facial rash and sores) Vista (chronic leaks) CL2 (same as T...

I use this Click for link to METRONIDAZOLE with success. I suffered rosacea before beginning my OSA therapy but it does seem the headgear creates more problems on my forehead and the gel doesn't seem to help nearly as much there as on my cheeks etc. I only use it for flare ups. I do use PADACHEEKS b...

I like my Swift for reasons well documented by me too many times to enumerate. Check out some of my posts on pillows or the Swift. Briefly: Light Non-intrusive I can wear glasses I have Learned to keep a good seal. Good AHI numbers Easy to clean I side sleep with it fine - THANK YOU (to all the nays...

I'm probably stating the obvious but you can edit the quote too if you desire, you can nest quotes and you can put multiple quotes in. You can literally go hog-wild with quotes and reviewing some old mails will show you that folks have.

Yes, I have heard/seen good things about Apollo as well.

I have one, used it for awhile but did not see too much difference and found it difficult to sustain. I'm no expert but did do some research "back when". I believe you need at least 5000 lux and that is if the lights are going to be pretty close. To have them over 20" away I think you need to go to ...

OCO, Did you see my post about patience? My study numbers were low and I had many of the same questions you did but, for whatever reason, I persisted. One reason was that the two nights, in the last 14 months, that I went without treatment I felt terrible. My AHI numbers never became consistently su...
