Re: Chinstraps

I have been using this one for about a week. Leak rate dropped significantly, no more dry mouth. Trick is to not over tighten.

Re: High triglycerides, means body jonesing for Diabetes?

Yikes, I was just having my first visit with my primary physician since I got sent off for my first sleep study. So, I got blood work done at the local health fair. Really good numbers except... triglycerides were around 290 despite over 12 hours fasting. Blood sugar was fine as usual at 85. Trigly...

Re: Opus 360 for sale or trade

I am interested in an outright sale since I have nothing to trade. Does the Opus come with the Large pillows? How much are you asking for it?

The o-ring solution sounds very interesting. I will have to give that a try.

Looks like it did change on hoses. Just looked at the web site. Did not see much else that changed. I heard at my last sleep support group meeting that CPAP machines would not be replaced unless they are broken. No more 5 year replacement schedule. Is this just a rumor or is this the new ploicy ? S...

I think Phase Shift would be an appropriate term for this phenomenon. Ists almost like the machine shifts into a mode that is less intrusive. On the other hand, it could be that our bodies and in particular our respritory system is shifting into sync with the flow coming out of the machine.

Re: cleaning mirage activa mask

Can I clean it with baby wipes daily and give it a therough cleaning in soapy water once a week. I am concerned about where the gel part of the mask meets the face because I break out from time to time. When I used the Activa, I would remove the "gel" part of the mask every day and wash it in mild ...
