Re: Are your pets interfering with CPAP?

I have a cat and a kitten. When the kitten first arrived she thought everything was a toy. including my hose. With training she now sleeps with me. I did go through 2 hoses while training her.

Re: SLEEP ON BACK OR SIDE?

I sleep on both sides and my back. The trick is finding a mask that allows you to move and not leak.

I think I may have found it, I won't know for sure until I sleep with it.

Re: taping mouth

Thanks. I will try this. I do not have a chin strap.
I just got a new mask today, and I am afraid mouth breathing may be a problem.

taping mouth

How exactly are you doing this? Where do you place the tape?

I am new to all this, so any help is appreciated.

Re: ResMed Swift LT vs. Swift FX

I Just got my FX today. I have not slept in it, But I did spend time trying it out before I decided on it. It is very light, almost like wearing nothing. No leaks.

I look forward to sleeping tonite.

New Mask !!

I just returned from my visit with my RT. I tried on several masks and decided on the Swift FX nasal pillows. I can't wait to sleep tonight!

Also, I am able to get a new machine. She recomended Respironics system one. Any advice? Does anyone else have this?

Thanks.

Re: Not sleeping on the sofa

I also forgot to mention that my machine makes a gurgling noise and water leaks into my mask.

I have strap marks on my face that last for hours!

This is not fun.
