thanks for the link, oscar. It doesn't metion the hybrid, but does show the liberty .... so I'm guessing that I'm ok with using the ff setting....

I've searched the board, but can't find the answer.... what mask setting do you use on the Resmed S9 for a Hybrid? I just got my new machine this week and have been using "full face"... and get a happy face, but also get a really high leak rate- about 14l. The AHI is only .4, so I'm not too worried,...

The oracle was the first mask I tried- while I really wanted it to work, it was awful. I tried plugging my nose with the plugs and I tried the swimming nose clips- nothing worked. Plugging the nose was a real problem. I now use the hybrid and love it... Very comfortable. I love being able to breathe...

This pillow idea also interested me.... I posted on it awhile back. Here's what I found.... I spent a lot of time on the phone/email with Brookstone trying to get ahold of the "scientific study" they kept boasting... ______ Hi! I asked awhile back if anyone had experience with the sona pillow which ...

Hi! I asked awhile back if anyone had experience with the sona pillow which is supposed to treat mild apnea. Because my apnea is mild and is completely due to the structure of my palette, I thought it might be worth a try. I did a little homework and came up with the study they did. Turns out they t...

Always have been thin, lots of snoring! Felt REALLY tired- went to doctors, nutritionists, etc, and finally my Husband figured out it was sleep apnea.

thanks.... I was just wondering if it really could "cure" mild apnea! The pap pillow is for cpap users.... not supposed to hep with apnea, I don't think. Anyway, my apnea is mild, I feel a million times better on cpap, but would love to ditch the mask

HI

I got an email from Brookstone which described the Sona Pillow. It's apparently an FDA approved medical device for treating (?) mild OSA. Has anyone given it a try? I've been on cpap for a year and have mild apnea. I'd love for a simpler solution!!!

I have a very long, narrow face and the hybrid works great for me! The fit on any mask seems to be quite an individual thing...

I had jaw surgery- moved both jaws forward- 20 years ago. It has held pretty well, but not quite! I'll be getting braces - for the fourth time- very soon and was also wondering if it would make sleeping with cpap trickier. Let us know!

I had a miserable time with the oracle.... did try a new nose clip that swimmers use, which really seemed to pinch... anyway, try the Speedo nose clip- I got mine at Big 5. Any sporting good store should have them....

believe it or not, I use the small cushion, one medium nose thing, and one large nose thing! Strange combination, but for some reason, it works! No leaks!

Wow- you are all so amazingly helpful! Thanks for your answers. My f/u appt is in December- depending on how everything is going, perhaps I'll ask for an apap. Sleep studies are NO fun!

For the veterans out there.... There's been a lot of "talk" on the board about adjusting pressure, apap machines, etc.... which made me wonder- how often do you have sleep studies after you have been diagnosed and are on cpap? It seems like the pressure should be reevaluated every so often, once the...
