Re: THE GREAT PILLOW EXCHANGE - CALGARY

I have 4 small and 4 extra-small P10 pillows. Would like to exchange for mediums, but if there are no exchanges, I'd be happy to give them to someone who needs them.

Please email debashby413@yahoo.com

Calgary Airfit P10 users

I use the medium nasal pillows and have small and extra-small ones (never used) that I would like to trade.

Please send a private message if you'd like to swap yours out for mine.

Thanks,

Help needed in Albany, NY, Please!

Long time member, but a non-poster here. We traveled from Calgary, AB to Albany, NY yesterday for Thanksgiving and I messed up (bad). Had such a bad trip; finally made it to our hotel at 3:30 am, or I would have posted sooner. Packed my machine and that's fine, but also packed my husband's machine a...

Re: New Swift FX Bella Mask.....

PillowToss, I posted at the beginning of the month, asking for input on the attached earlobe thing. Tetragon replied; she's got semi-attached lobes and feels that the problems she's experienced with fit are unrelated to attached/unattached/semi-attached ear lobes. I've ordered a set of loops and wil...

Re: Just decided taping is unsafe

I'm almost a year into cpap and my mouth still isn't cooperating by staying closed when I sleep. Funny, it doesn't stay closed when I'm awake, either I've tried chin straps, denture adhesives and taping. I liked taping, but ordered some Chin-Up strips a couple of months ago just to check them out an...

Re: New Swift FX Bella Mask.....

Hi, gang I've read almost every post in this thread and have not found one that relates to the Bella and folks who have attached earlobes (ResMed does not recommend the Bella for people with attached lobes.). Any reviews/critique/advice from those with attached earlobes? Thanks so much, welki P.S. M...

Re: Barrel cozy for Swift FX causing leaks

I don't like the feeling of silicone on my upper lip, so ordered and just received my barrel cozy and pad-a-cheek covers for the sidepieces (because they seemed like a good idea) of my FX Swift for Her and have experienced the same things ... leakage and the sensation of cold air entering my nose. I...

Re: Leaks, Ripping Off Mask - and an almost pleasant surprise

Pugsy! I haven't tried the Neti-Pot either ... I just can't get past the physics of the process! What I've been using is an alternative to the Neti-Pot, the Sinus Rinse: http://www.neilmed.com/usa/sinusrinse.php You regulate the pressure and the volume. It's really not bad. Only caveat is that you s...

Leaks, Ripping Off Mask - and an almost pleasant surprise

Hi, folks! I'm an infrequent poster, but incessant reader of this board and find that many have experienced the same pesky leaks and discoveries of masks torn off during the night that I have. I've been on APAP since April of this year and my therapy, for the most part, is going well. I still don't ...

Re: Plain Water vs Scented Water

I went to Wal-Mart and picked up a cheap water cooler. I put it in my bathroom, unplugged, and put a 5 gallon jug of distilled water on it ... lasts a long, long time in this dry Alberta climate and it's so easy to use. (Barter a cup of coffee and a slice of pie in exchange for someone lugging it up...

Re: Nasal Pillows and Sore Front Teeth?

Ivan, I thought along the same lines as you ... and really laughed out loud!

I have the same problem as Havalle and you, have been trying to adjust for a couple of months and it seems to be getting better. Old habits, like tongue-thrusting, are hard to break

Re: Do you tape your mouth or use a chin strap?

I was a reluctant convert to the Poligrip Strip Club, but after two nights of using the stuff, I think I'm ready to say goodbye to the soreness and aches associated with my chin strap and the leaks that the chinstrap were unable to control. I will pay my dues and become a full fledged member. I've n...

Re: Travel and the SD card

I flew from Calgary into Newark and back last month. Had no issues at all with the machine or SD card (and I don't have a "medical equipment" label). One thing I recall another forum member posting is not to put anything else in the bag except the equipment that belongs in it. No creams, no extra ca...
