Here is a thought. If you have an old pair of glasses you don't need anymore, break them in half where they go over the bridge of the nose. Depending on what side you sleep on, with me it is the right side so I can watch TV. I could put the left side of my glasses on. The fact that I am lying down w...

Hi Rested Gal, I found my Swift which is relatively new but have not had success sleeping with it for more than two hours. I do not like the nasal pillows although it is a great mask for not obstructing my view for reading, TV etc. and good for side sleeping if only I could get used to it. I like th...

Thank you ozij for the welcome back. I have totally given up on the comfort curve. I do own a Swift if I can only find it and I know you can wear glasses with that one. The Aptiva is the mask I have been able to tolerate the longest but it is not comfortable for side sleeping. Sometimes I will hold ...

Just wanted to know if you can wear eyeglasses with the Breeze Mask. Looking at the picture, I would say probably not. I cannot fall asleep without the TV on. Watching TV is difficult with the Aptiva. Maybe if they invented a new style of eyeglass for cpap users. Any suggestions..CareS

Hi, I have been on cpap a year and a half. Right away, I noticed a dramatic difference in the clarity of my thinking and memory. The funny part was the things I was remembering was songs. I have played the piano for as long as I can remember and all these songs that I had forgotten came flooding ba...

I probably would not discuss my bad dreams but this one was a doozy. Obviously I had fallen asleep without the machine or taken the mask off in my sleep which I do quite frequently. In this dream the Cpap hose had taken on a life of it's own and crawled snake-like around the floor of my bedroom. The...

Thanks RG for your reply and yours too GoofProof. I think I really was being punished last night because I kept waking up hourly with foot cramps and it felt like my toes were curling up. So between the dreams and the foot cramps I didn't sleep too well. Any remedies for this? CareS

Just wondering if anyone else has experienced this. On the frequent occasions that I fall asleep on the sofa watching TV or whenever I fall asleep without the machine, I invariably have bad dreams. If for no other reason than this, I make it a point to sleep with the mask. It is now one year for me ...

To Oh to breathe, I agree, it does sound complicated but really, it couldn't be easier. It is simply a matter of criss crossing the laces, tying (knotting them) over and under the elbows, with both hands pulling the two laces on either side up to the part of the headgear to the spot that it feels co...

Thanx for the idea. I have got plently of stretch knit fabric around here and a serger machine so I know what I will be doing tonight. I can't stand the feel of the rough hose near my face either..CareS

This actually works and is easy and inexpensive. I have been wracking my brain for the past few months trying to figure a way to improve the seal on the comfort curve mask. This is my latest innovation. OK here goes! 1. Buy a pair of ordinary shoelaces (any colour will do) at least 27-28 inches long...

Hi Lori, Just finished reading your excellent advice to DMunsen. I just wanted to add a few things. Be especially careful about how things are prepared with as little oil or fat as possible. Use low or no-fat salad dressings. Eat more chicken and fish but do not eat beef or pork two days in a row. A...

Better late than never. My Friday weigh-in took place today (Monday) and I dropped two lbs. This loss made me feel really good because I have been very discouraged lately. Apparently the problem was "bananas". We are allowed to have half a small banana every other day and I was eating a large banana...

Congratulations guys, you have not disappointed me. I only posted this to see what kind of reaction I would get and you have exceeded my expectations. CareS

I recently purchased a Swift and am gradually increasing the time I spend on it, alternating it half-way through the night with the Aptiva. My problem with the Swift is the hard plastic strap buckles with the indentations that go behind and over the head to adjust the straps. They are just plain ha...
