Re: Where can I sell my cpap machine

Larry, Congratulations on losing weight and your apnea. I too lost a great deal and unfortunatly still have apnea. I think it is due to a small oral cavity and structure. I asked my doc about a new test, but he sees no reason as what I am doing is working for me. I've tried to not use my machine and...

Re: THE GREAT PILLOW EXCHANGE

UPDATE, I found great homes for my unneeded Cpap parts. Thank you for inquiring. I have Resmed Swift LT for her pillows and likely many parts. I use the small, so I am certain I have x-smalls and mediums available. Also have Resmed Bella around the ear loops and pink sleeves unused. Please inquire a...

Re: Lucid Dreams when *NOT* on CPAP/ASV?

I am so happy to see this thread. I am in the hospital this week, Because if the nature of the operation I have not been on CPAP. I have had the most horrific dreams. I dread falling to sleep. I know my oxygen levels drop at night and they are quick to make sure oxygen is on me. For me I first think...

Re: Guys--Do you like the Swift FX or the Swift Lt better?

I can't speak about the FX or LT with a beard.

But the FX hose was to heavy for me I had to readjust it often.

Love the LT. It stays out for me and the ladies version comes with covers for the sides.

Re: I Am So Angry

Laura,
You were meant to be there. You were meant to be their advocate.

I work with children in special education. I often thought nobody better to advocate for them than their parents. But many times it is the other person who cares most; that advocates the best.

Re: Nasal spray addiction with CPAP

I have had rebound congestion on two occasions from nose spray. One time the doctor gave me a few day prescription of prednisone pills. This relieved the congestion. The last time a doctor had me use flonase. Advised me to use the afrin in only one nostril. After the congestion stops in the alternat...

Re: Change In Pressure feeling better

Randy, You rock! I did the same thing. My AHI was hanging around 6-7 with my titrated pressure. Upped it a bit and now I am between 1-2. The kicker that made me feel really good was when my doctor added night time oxygen therapy. So much morning fatigue left. My saturation levels dropped also while ...

I have used Optigen for more than a yar. They have been so easy to deal with. Always kind to speak with. Always ontime with my quarterly packages.

I hope your new machine is just what you need!

I am so glad you pointed this mask out. Looks like something my husband would like as he is a swift ll user.

Re: Do you wake up feeling refreshed?

I think I feel refreshed. I am happy in the morning.
. I used to have a morning headache, nearly every morning. Those are gone.
. I have multiple neck issues. That isn't as severe.

I look forward to going to bed now
