twolf,
Thanks so much. I'll run out and check it out. Hopefully that'll help my problem. I had to come home and take a nap before class, I slept horrible last nite.

The DME wont let me try them out overnite. My ins. will allow for 4 a yr, so I'll be down to 2 for the rest of the year. I gotta find what I like quickly.
What is the ayr? Where do you purchase it? Maybe I'll try that on the Mirage Swift. I have a few days until my appt.

what do you recommend?

Hello I'm currently using the mirage swift. Its been over a week, and I'm noticing that I'm adjusting alot. Evidently I'm a rollerarounder. lol I like to sleep on stomach or left side and with the nasal pillows I'm constantly getting a cold lip from the air. Yep leaks. I was thinking of trying the M...

I'm worried about setting the cpap up for camping also. There are so many ideas, I'm not sure which is the easiest or the lightest. Of course, cost is a factor and storage of the supplies in my too little apt. I do not want to be tired while out camping, then I will miss all of the fun!!! I'll have ...

I found this under the CPAP faq's
cpaptalk-faq.php?FCID=32#32
I hope it helps. I know that the machine goes on as a carryon, an extra carryon. not to be charged extra for, but read the link, it has alot of answers.

I nap with mine, I didnt once and woke up so tired and miserable. I'll never nap without it again. I've been taking regular naps since I got OSA. I'm hoping to evidently stop taking naps, but I feel so good now with the CPAP. It's been one week and one day for me. I'm still adjusting thats for sure!...

When using the bite splint that the Dentist gave me, I do not have to tape my mouth shut, it just snaps in, & I dont worry about it. When I first got it, I would take it out during the nite, but I'm use to it now and that rarely happens. I think its great. I do not wake up with headaches, my ears ar...

I'm not a mouth breather so I dont have dry mouth. I dont see how you could w/ the CPAP machine, I open my mouth and my ...

I was hoping it would be an easy answer. I wasnt sure if it would hurt the machine, tubes or ????? Wow, is this ever a new experience. Yesterday I woke up feeling pretty good, minus almost scaring myself. I had a dream I was being probed and examed by aliens, and woke up with tubes and a mask on my ...

embarrasing newbie question

Hello all, I just got my cpap machine 2 days ago. I have a question. When you have to go to the bathroom, do you take off the entire face mask or is there another way? Both nites I had to go, and by the time I figured out how to put the mask back on in the dark, I was awake again. I have the REMstar...
