I experience this, too, and just assumed it was my hair. I figured that I become nose-blind to the scent of my shampoo and hair products since my hair is hanging beside my face all day. But after breathing filtered air all night, my brain forgets my hair scent. When I take the mask off, I suddenly s...

The grammar in my last post is annoying me, lol. go back and edit it Nah, I'll leave it. It's a reminder that I'm not perfect. I need that now and then or else my head gets so big that it won't fit in my car any more. Congrats! I was surprised how fast I learned to sleep without it. One thing that ...

Neither the amount of alcohol consumed nor the frequency with which it is consumed speak to dependence. Whether or not one can easily skip consuming without anxiety or negative emotional response speaks to dependence. Some alcoholics drink only once per week. Some alcoholics drink 1-2 beers every ni...

so, the church of the hosed out nose has a new acolyte, eh? awesome that it's working for you and that's an awfully boring chart you posted... con-grats! Haha, thanks! And yes, I've joined the Cult of Nose-hosing. Never gonna look back. It's always great when you can stop using a piece of gear like...

The last time I tried to sleep without my chin strap, I woke up less than an hour later with a wind tunnel in my mouth. Not pleasant. I had resigned myself to having to wear the darned thing forever, even though it feels like I'm clenching my jaw from it when I wake up. So, last night I decided to g...

Ain't that the truth??

Yay! So glad that all went well for you!

A few of the OA's that are being recorded are actually when I took the mask off because I had woken up. I have auto start/stop enabled, so I take it off and it just blows mad air for a few seconds before it figures out that I'm not wearing it, lol. Oddly enough, these times don't make a blip on the...

Nah, it's not from washing them. LOL! I mean, I do keep them clean with a baby wipe but don't dunk them and suds them up but once a week or so. And they are completely dry when I put them on. If they haven't dried entirely from the previous night's water, I get a q-tip and gently dry the insides. Th...

Update on aerophagia and rainout after several nights with new settings: AHI is hovering around .5 or less.

I know this is an old post, but I'm bumping it up since it didn't get significant responses. I am finding that I experience this same thing. I love my swift fx for her. It's really comfortable and after a few days of trying out the different sizes of pillows, I've settled on mediums and they don't h...

Ugh. So, I guess the Quattro, in any size, is out. And now I have a small that I just ordered that doesn't work. That's how it goes, I guess. I made myself three different liners to try, of varying thicknesses. One, the recommended thin cotton jersey. The second a soft but thin microfleece. Thicker ...

That's wonderful!!

I agree with all previous post but wanted to add 1 more I encountered while working with pts. I had an older gentleman come in one day for a download. He had a cpap on pretty high pressures (18cwp I believe) and he was using a full face mask. I thought the download would show a lot of leakage (high...
