Re: Advice needed for struggling CPAP user

I can only speak to the P10 since that's all I've used, but I found I was having nasal soreness till I increased the size of my pillow, when I used the size suggested by my DME the pillow actually felt like it was going up in my nostril a bit and that made it sore. Good luck working things out.

Re: Mouth Guard for teeth grinding and CPAP mask?

Been using a mouth guard for years, first an expensive one from the dentist till my lab chewed it up and now a cheap one from walmart. Glad you found one you like and it's working.

Re: NEW SCARED AND AFRAID REPOST

I can tell you that my doc has always had me take my thyroid med in the a.m., used to be synthroid but then I switched to armour since it's more natural and I wanted to see if that worked as well. I also encourage you to stay the course with cpap because I believe that once you are over all the issu...

Re: Do i have a problem

If someone is new to CPAP therapy, this may not seem like a welcoming place. You don't have to be new to cpap therapy to think that this forum is sometimes not a welcoming place. I have had my own problems with how some people talk to people here. There are ways of disagreeing with someone that don...

Re: infection on nose and lips where mask doesn't touch

is there anything people won't try to blame on cpap? There you go again with your mean spirited comments. You just can't help yourself, can you? Read the OP again, nothing said about blaming the CPAP. But so what if she did? Are you the CPAP police? She's asking for help not comments like this. the...

Re: A leaking hole on the front of Dreamwear Nasal Mask

I found there was another hole on top where I could feel leaking when I put my finger on top. yes there is an intentional vent on top. In fact it is a series of small holes in a pattern. Now like some, I could get all indignant because a couple of months ago, I posted here and asked pretty much the...

Re: I hate my machine

Why would you say something like that? You have a short memory. Read some of our previous communications. Nothing but kindness and complimentary to you. Do you remember the conversation between you and I about your Paw Paw? Go back and read it and then come back and tell me I'm a troll. (Do you hav...

Re: I'm so sick of this--venting

If your nostrils are sore as in chapped, I found the pad a cheek barrel cozy totally got rid of that for me, lanolin didn't help me too much. The barrel cozy also helped with pillow leaks.
