I have had PMR for about 10 years, they start off giving you a high dose but taper you down to 5 mg and then my rhuemy told me to keep decreasing it slowly and I was down to 3mg a day very quickly and have been on that for the last 10 years, my biggest problem is weight and depending on the dr you t...

Travis, I was diagnosed with this 6 years ago, the prednisone works I take 3mg a day and have no problems. My doctor told me that I would probably be on pred always he said it really doesn't go away. Small price to pay for being able to move. It is an autoimmune disease and I do have another that I ...

I just sent Karen at Pad a Cheek an email to see if she has a fix for this and she does!! So anyone else having the problem just email Karen.

I have been using the Swift LT for over a month and love it, but I have one problem with it. Because you wear it loose the side straps rub and cut my ears. Is anyone else having this problem?

I have been using the LT for over a week and I am really starting to love it. I had alot of problems in the beginning but I am getting them worked out. I started with the medium pillows but had alot of leaks, so I went to the small pillows and I put ayr gel in my nares before I put on the mask, work...

I finally made it through a night with my new LT!! I used the smaller pillows and used the gel that someone recommended. Had a good nights sleep, the only problem I had was I still feel like I'm not getting enough air. When I woke this morning instead of he bridge of my nose red, my top lip had brok...

Just got my new LT yesterday and tried it last night. I put it on with the med pillows, it was great when I was sitting up watching tv, but as soon as I laid down on my side I started to have trouble, my pillow kept blocking the air and it started to move around and I couldn't get a seal I think the...

When I travel I will buy small bottles of purified water, I don't think this hurts the humidifier, I think it is very close to distiled water. I agree about the waste from empty bottles, although I do recycle. I just saw on HSN the shopping channel a product I am thinking about buying called Liv Gre...

I don't move around at all at night, and used to have problems with my hip getting numb, I got a tempur pedic and have no more problems. Love th bed.

I am having minor surgery this week under general anesthesia. They know about the cpap and during surgery I will have a tube down my throat so that will be fine, but in recovery they said they would monitor me. I am really worried about being in recovery and stopping breathing. Has anyone else had s...

I always put my mask on when I go to bed and watch tv. I fall asleep very quickly, sometimes I wake up and my glasses are still on and I am still propped up in bed. If I didn't put my mask on first I would spend many nights without my cpap.

Has anyone tried the Breathex Journey yet? I want to get a backup machine and I would like something small that runs on battery, so I could nap on the couch if I want. When I went on cpap.com they had no reviews for this. I am also looking at the Everest, but it looks bigger. The only thing that wor...

Lately I find I drool constantly when sleeping. It's not just a little, it wakes me up because my pillow is so wet. I have always drooled a little but nothing like this, I even changed masks to see if it made a difference but it didn't. Is this common on cpap? Is is the humidifier? I keep that very ...
