chronic runny nose, burning sinus and sneezing?

Hi All, I have been on CPAP since October 07, since that time I seem to have a constant runny nose (clear) and my sinuses burn, (feels like when you pull pool water up your nose) When the sinuses start to burn, I have a round of sneezing that goes on for several minutes. What is this all about? I un...

Hose Covers and other crafty ideas

I made a hose cover for my husband out of the soft micro-fleece. Works great! I have the swift 2 and the headgear is really bothering my face. So, in a moment of brillance ( I don't get those very often) I decided to try a pair of baby socks, the thick bootie type with elastic at the top. I snipped ...

pur sleep trial

I have used the Pur-Sleep now for 2 nights. I really like the Peace and even got my husband to use it last night. We both seem to like them. The information was well presented and well written. I seemed to have problems with the dispensers also and got more than 1 drop also. Never thought about putt...

liberty

Somewhere I read that the large is designed more commonly for men and the small for women. I would not use that as the gospel though. Is there some way you can get the masks and try them on and not have to buy one? When I had my titration study they let me try several on and I chose the Swift II. Th...

mirage liberty

I got started on CPAP on 09/22/07. I checked with DME and they said the insurance will replace mask every 6 months. I think I will wait until 6 months and let ins buy the next one. I like the Swift and actually have gotten pretty good rest with it. Would just like to try the liberty and see what it'...

cpap and arthritis is there a connection?

I have recently joined the hosehead family. My husband has been a member for years and I finally gave up and went for study. I have had osteoarthritis in my knees for years. Too many years of basketball and not playing nicely. I have noticed that over the last 3 weeks or so, my joints don't hurt lik...
