My aunt .... gee, going back about 50 years ... used to put it inside her nose. Worked great.

Thank you, Di.

Guess I'll use the KY until I feel good enough to go shopping. This afternoon is supposed to be rainy and with my cold I don't think I should get out in it.

Second night with the Swift was as great as the first.

Thank you, Sam and Sal.

Oops. No more vaseline. As soon as I get out of bed I'll wash my pillows. Is KY ok? I have that. Today I'm not able to do anything.

To bring everyone up to speed: I have moderate/severe sleep apnea and have been using an Activa mask for 11 months now. Because of other problems I have to take xyrem and don't wake up until my alarm goes off four hours after I go to bed in order for me to take my second dose. Then I don't wake up u...

These are all great suggestions. I'll buy a couple of them and experiment.

Hi. Yes, Thank you again so much. I'll make sure to get my stats daily. Good luck with your cpap. Lyn

Hi. I've been using an apap for about a week now. I love the machine and nasal mask but hate the headstrap. Looking over the internet I see headstraps that I think would work better than than this single strap that keep winding up around my throat. javascript:emoticon(':shock:') Shocked I go back to...
