Re: Swift FX help

Try "Ayr Saline Nasal Gel with Soothing Aloe" cheap and last a long time I put a little right on the pillows and never have a problem. I also believe it helps with seal.

Re: Side sleepers please chime in

Resmed Swift FX and the only leaks I get is from my mouth. I love the FX and would be hard pressed to try anything else.

Re: Get the flu shot, not the flu

I work in a hospital and will be getting both the H1N1 and the regular. It is very much encouraged at the hospital. By the way they give out icecream cones so why not.

Re: Billing charge for S9 monitoring feature

The SD card is standard equipment! How much was the total machine? $600.00 for a SD card is ridiculous. I hope they have a better explanation than what you were given. Are they charging you to monitor the data? There are also attachments that send the data automatically to the DME. I think I would s...

Re: Resmed S9 users, a question

I have the S9 auto and my only complaint I have is now I can hear the traffic outside, the dog barking across the street and of course my wifes snoring. That being said I run at about 14.5 pressure and I have to look and see if it is running. I think it is a great machine. When I was looking into di...

Re: S9 versus PR System One?

I went from the Resperonics M series to the Resmed S9 auto. I have no experience with the System one. That being said I love the S9. First off I initially had to check if the machine is running. I like that it does not send the full pressure all at once when it starts I kind of builds to the prescri...

Re: new user

Hello and welcome to the forum, It took me almost a month to get used to being on CPAP. Now I can't imagine sleeping without it. The hardest part for me it was finding the correct mask. The first mask I owned had to be replaced because I broke it by throwing it across the room at 5 am after not slee...

Re: Dreams of choking

I have this reoccurring dream of choking in my nasal pillows and wake up and have a choking sensation. After a moment of panic I relies it is not possible to choke on your mask and I am wondering if anybody has any trouble with this? I have recently started looking at my data and really can’t find ...
