Re: How much is too much leakage- Update

Tried the denture grip strips, didn't really seem to work, not strong enough to keep me mouth closed. I did a lot of turning, so I will try it again tonight. here is the graph. http://lh5.ggpht.com/_f0TmFmoTj-M/SUVPe4nEnrI/AAAAAAAAAHw/MXKvafwTpG8/s912/Denture%20Grip.JPG I ordered a hybrid FF mask, I...

Re: New To Cpap's...Need Advice

It is also easier to troubleshoot any problems with your therapy, it does take some time to get your therapy straightened out, and the more information the better

Best of luck

Great idea, thanks I will do that next time

Re: OT, How the auto bailout works . . .

Rooster your right I meant "Serfs" The assembly line workers can make up to $73/hour. Your wrong, $73/hour is the cost of the worker, including overhead. I know, I have worked in the automotive industry for the past 16 years. I work for a supplier, we work with all manufacturers. They all have their...

Re: Rest in Peace

My deepest sympathy to his family, I know he will be missed from this forum, I have spent a great deal of time reading through his old post and have been amazed at his knowledge and how many people he has helped. Hopefully they can save his past postings for future memebers to learn from. Best regards

Has anyone started an exercise program after starting CPAP

HI All I would like to know if any members have started an exercise program after getting their CPAP therapy straightened out ( eliminate leaks, correct pressures, etc.). Did the exercise in their opinion help advance their therapy? I have heard and also felt myself that people don't feel all great ...

Re: How much is too much leakage- Update

I tried the chin strap last night and the results weren't too much better, I slept about 9 hours, woke up at the 3 hr mark to go to the bathroom, didn't put the chin strap back on, was too tired and groggy to get it hooked up. The chin strap did make me realize that there is some mouth leakage. I co...

We are digging our own graves with the out sourcing of jobs.

soon the only classes that will be left is the elite rich class and the surfs,

Re: Leak line Concern

I use SWIFT LT and side and stomach sleep.....and achieve a fully straight leak line quite often, and a mostly straight line with a short blip or two most of the rest of the time. Usually blip is from position change.... Might mouth-leak once a week......usually briefly. Straight lines are possible...
