Re: Using Swift FX for Her.. but now....

Ok, Thanks for the info. I will buy some and try it. But does anyone know if I should stop using the pillows until this heals?

Using Swift FX for Her.. but now....

Hi Everyone, I have been using the nasal pillows for her for a couple of months now and I LOVE the nasal pillows. But now I have a sore inside my nostril and it isn't healing. I have been sleeping with the nasal pillows with this sore, but it isn't healing and I think it is the pillow that gave me t...

Re: Had some dental work done today

Thank you for your answers. My pressure is 10 on my machine. I just get the answering service when I call the dentist... so I just might have to not use the CPAP tonight. I do have a tendency to mouth breathe. Although I have been keeping my mouth shut I am pretty sure because I do not wake up with ...

Had some dental work done today

Hi.. I have a question about using the CPAP after having some dental work done today. I forgot to ask my dentist these questions. Maybe some of you have been through this already. I had an extraction and a root canal done. My question is.. should I use the CPAP for the first couple of nights after t...

Re: Something is wrong, something is amiss!

Thank you Jankitz for the blog about fitting the Swift FX. I just got mine yesterday. Slept with it last night. I really liked it. But I am glad I read your blog because I think I might have had it to tight. Really sad that DMEs do not give better fitting instructions. I am headed to bed now to try ...

Re: Exhaling into eyes, any suggestions?

I was having the same trouble with the leaks into the eyes. Last night was probably my worst night since I have gotten the CPAP almost 3 months ago. I finally got fed up with it and called the DME and told them I really need a new mask, the full face mask was too hot for the summer, not to mention i...

Re: OSA & Frequent urination during the night

I have had the same problem. I used to get up to go to the bathroom 2 to 3 times a night. After I started the CPAP in May, I was shocked I did not get up to run to the bathroom during the night anymore! Told myself, CPAP isnt so bad if it stopped the trips to the bathroom! I didnt realize also that ...

Re: Help! Taking my mask off EVERY night!!!

I do not take my mask off everynight, but I have about 4 times since I started using my CPAP. I started about 2 months ago. What is really strange though, is I took my mask off last night. I do not even remember doing it. But when I took the mask off, I even took it apart! I woke up realizing I was ...
