No Longer Need C-Pap?

I recently spent time away from home and shared a room at a hotel with my friend, and she told me she never heard me stop breathing, etc. even once during the 3 nights. My husband also has related the same thing. Someone mentioned to me that after a couple of years with C-pap you may no longer need ...

Hookup for the Aussie Hose

Hi fellow C-pap Users,
I just received my Aussie heated hose. I can't find my old mail where someone explained about hooking it up. It has a black plus on the end??
Something about an adapter from Radio Shack. Really appreciate your help.

MASKS

any new c-pap masks and/or nasal masks that a side sleeper can use comfortably? Still looking, use the Nasal Aire 11 and full face. Didn't like the comfort curve. Only get about 2 nights a week of restful sleep with the Nasal Air 11. Can't get on line enough to read all the posts.
Thanks, Judy

HELP WITH MIRAGE SWIFT

I tried the mirage swift last night, putting the hose over the top of my head (side sleeper). After about 2 hours the air rushing in my hose was painful, so I turned the pressure down on the humidifier. Again after a few hours, too much air in my nose. Finally resorted back to the full face mask. Am...

I am having spine surgery on Wed. and doubt that I will be in any condition to even use a C-Pap. According to what I have read, I have to let the anesthesiologist know about my sleep apnea....

C-pap Masks

I would like some thoughts on the Mirage Swift. I have tryed it several times and the tubing presses on my face, since I am a side sleeper. Finally gave up and back to the Nasal Aire II. That too irriatates my ears, after sleeping awhile and the Nasal Aire 11 is so noisy (air). I am really not havin...
