I'm at my worst when sitting up napping, can't go more than a minute or two before having an event.

I like the hybrid and liberty in that order. Every regular full face mask seemed to make me mouthbreath even more.
And I whole heartedly agree with this quote:

As others have said, mask choice is a very personal subjective issue.

even if you didn't need to use them for cpap you'd still be buyying panty hose .......lmao any other good uses you found? maybe start a new thread--GUMBY'S PANTY POSSIBILITIES lol The last house I owned had a septic tank so I used my wife's used pantyhose as a filter for the washing machinre drainp...

Congratulations. Nice to see when a procedure works to its fullest. Get all the sleep you can now while it's possible.

Okay, so I suffer from recurring bronchitis. I currently have laryngitis (sp), sinus congestion, sinus drainage down my throat (I know, gross, and TMI), cough, sore throat. My question. It feels like it's dropping into my chest. Should I lay off of my CPAP while sick, or keep using it? Could it pus...

Thin all my life. Quit smoking and went on cpap at sametime, gained 60 pounds.

The smell of a flame touching animal flesh will make me vomit. Should I let all the backyard BBQers in my development know that they are not being considerate? How about Burger King? BTW : I'm not a vegetarian. I can and do eat meat, just not meat touched by a flame. Bad example I know, but we all n...

My DME (Praxair) informed me that the hybrid in nolonger available due to the reason that they have been discontinued. I know that this has been in another thread, but now two DMEs are saying this. What's going on ? They say they need a new prescription to switch me to another mask, a Liberty, which...

I want to add: The very same nasties cause the crude, not the other way around. [/quote] I'm not sure I agree with you here - I'm pretty certain the crud is just the minerals, solids and salts, all mixed up together in a concentrate. Perhaps someone could offer to "suck it and see"[/quote] I wasn't...

When I did smoke I tried to be considerate, but what is considerate to me may not be to you. What is considerate? Not smoking in the room you are in or not smoking in the room you may be in later? Not smoking in your car or not smoking in any car? Not smoking in a restaurant or not smoking on the st...

This seems to come up so often here. If you want to use distilled water then go ahead. If you want to use RO water, go ahead. (I use RO,in HH as well as my salt water aquariums and fresh water aquariums.) Neither is pure or sterile unless so stated on the label. Like I stated in another thread, We u...

Right now I'm about 15 lbs over weight, though when I was diagnosed (twice, 2 different doctors,) I was very much under weight.

I too am a reformed smoker, having not had a smoke since June of 07. I also won't call myself a nonsmoker because I am only one cig away from being a smoker again. I still do miss them. Now that I have been I cpap and have started dreaming, I dream about them. My wife still smokes and that makes it ...

I don't understand why people believe that bottled distilled water is sterile, because it may or it may not be. Unless it says it is sterile on the label then the safe bet is that it isn't. Yes the water may be bacteria free as it condenses in the distiller but unless everything the water touches af...

I have always been a very bad snorer. With my Cpap I do not snore at all, (so says my wife,) and if I take my mask off at 4 am and go back to sleep until the alarm goes off at 5 am I still do not snore. But If I try to sleep the night without the mask I will start to snore within 2 hours. And most t...
