questions about OA, CA, masks, meds, and leaks!

Hello, Ive been on cpap for 3 yrs. I've used a FFM but I've been increasingly unhappy with it and 10 days ago I changed to swift FX for her. My doctor also changed my pressure to cpap 10 (whereas I had set it to apap maybe 11-14) I'm ok with the need for an experimentation/acclimation period and I'v...

I have been reading this forum for 3 years so I KNOW that you have to give yourself 2 weeks or so to adjust to a new mask a...

Re: nasal pillows info needed

Many thanks for all this helpful info!! I think the local DME only carries the ResMed line as far as I can tell. I'm not yet on medicare (next year) and I may have to make some changes then so might branch out to other brands if I really do well with the pillows. just checked the other swift I had w...

I saw my sleep doctor yesterday and he suggested I try the "swift FX for her" . I was somewhat skeptical based on one previous try wit...
