Wow did I get lucky. The guy that I just started dating, he is such a sweetie. He was on the cpap before he lost weight, he doesnt use it now though. He brought it up to me and I told him I had sleep apnea and a cpap machine. He totally understands. That will make the 1st time SOOO much easier. wow.

Babette, I just got the breeze last nite, I am hardly an expert. The breeze did not touch my lip at all. I have a question, I'm sure you checked this, but there is a screw that is attached to the piece that the pillows are attached too, this will move. It was loosened on mine when I got it, so I adj...

Last nite was rough. I was awake for most of the nite. Just couldnt get my eyes to close. I was tossing and turning. The cold air from the mask hits me and keeps me awake. I'll get almost asleep and something will move then I have cold air blowing on my arm, or hand or its just aggravating!!! I forg...

I got some sleep last nite My nose is only a little bit sore today. I do have the vents right, they are just like the picture.. what I did was some minor adjustments so that the bottom straps fits more towards the bottom of my neck. It took just a couple of stitches and it stayed put. I also readjus...

I'd definetely call this discrimation!!!! How horrible to withhold medical treatment. I'd send an email to the company, If you send an email explaining why its needed and how it will affect you then you have written proof, you can then call the news. Make it a HOT topic and get the new involved, the...

Thank you for the tips Dreamstalker. I'm really just a tired mess right now. The mirage swift started out great, but then after not sleeping for so long, I guess anything would be an improvement. I'll check out the masks you recommended next week when I talk to the DME. wow sneezing hurts, my nose i...

I couldnt sleep at all last nite

WOW! I'm really hating the Mirage Swift mask. I did the adjustments that I found. I put tape on the ends of the tube to prevent leakage, I put the little velcro piece in the top of my headstrap so that I can move around. (Yes, I like to sleep on my side and front) I tightened as described in anothe...
