Fixed prices
Companies fix a standard price every day. Try to buy a Tempurpedic mattress. You will pay the same price in any store you go to. Period. However, you can get a store to throw in pillows, mattress covers, maybe some sheets etc. etc. in order to make the deal. But the reciept with show the standard pr...

Pillow leaks
I have managed to get a pretty decent result but my pillows seem to leak where they are attached to the chin part of the mask. I can often hear the hissing and if I put my fingers by the pillows I feel air coming up around the left one especially. What is the best way to insert / adjust the pillows?...

ultimate solution for Gerd
My Gerd was so bad I used to wake up choking because I had inhaled the nasty stuff! Several times Sandy almost had to call 911 because I couldn't get my breath. The only real solution is to get the surgery which reinforces the valve at the top your stomach which keeps the stuff down in there where i...

New Headgear
Ummm, I just got this Hybrid fairly recently from my DME.
How do I know if I have the new headgear or the old headgear?
Mine is black and the straps are about a half-inch wide.[/img]

PAC'S
No, I don't have the pad a cheeks. I just bought the hybrid a couple of weeks ago, and am just beginning to figure out how to fit it to my strange face Last night was the first time I've used it and didn't feel like I needed to go to the emergency room when I woke up to have my nose surgically repai...

My numbers were: Leak rate -- -- -- .42 L/s AHI -- -- -- -- -- 19.1 AI -- -- -- -- -- -- 4.0 AHI -- -- --...

ResMed software
I have the S8 Elite also. I also have software and card reader and I'm glad I got it. You can get much of the same information from the LCD display and enter it in a spreadsheet manually. But the software does the drudgery for you and presents it in a reasonable format. You can select any period of ...

I had an operation for Gerd in 1999 called a laparoscopic fundoplication at Mayo Clinic in Scottsdale, Arizona. I had been suffering from it for years, even when I was relatively thin.I started taking Rolaids before bed and graduated to prescription medicines and having endoscopic examinations every...

Pillows
Pillows are not meant to go inside the nose...try the large sized ones...they should fit snugly around the openings, not inside. ================================ I < KNOW > the pillows aren't supposed to be inside the nose. I started the night with them where they are supposed to be. They felt ok t...

Hybrid -- night 5 -- delayed report
Friday night I tried the medium chin cushion and a small pillow on one side and a medium on the other. When I woke up in the morning, both pillows were completely up inside my nose -- but they didn't leak! The hard plastic frame was up against the bottom of my nose. Needless to say -- da noze hoits....

Hybrid -- night 4 report
After taking a few nights off to let my sore nose heal and using Merino skin cream, I decided to give the hybrid another shot. This time I used the medium chin thingy and small pillows. Almost no nose soreness this morning. But those pillows were actually too small. DA BOSS said it was whistling and...

Merino
Well, I believe they get it from sheep. So maybe that is where the name comes from. Perhaps merino is Australian for sheep .. I dunno. I do know the stuff is really really really great for dry skin. Whether or not it will sooth my nose I don't know yet. I can see it easing the discomfort, but don't ...

Lanolin?
I thought Lanolin was to make your skin softer.
We've got some stuff from Australia called Merino that is almost pure lanolin.
Really good stuff on dry skin. I'm going to try it.[/img]

Hybrid -- night 3
Last night I had the medium cusion and medium pillows. Nose too sore to touch today. Been putting vasline on it. Am going back to my beloved Activa tonight, maybe for a couple of nights until the nose gets better. My numbers went back up last night. Not sure if that's the mask or what. I've noticed ...
