Like K_ogre said, I also just put the mask on and let the machine start up, as it starts to blow in the mask I exhale to make it easier to get used to the air coming in. Then if I need to reseat the cushion on my face I do so. Just seems easier that way and I don't have the high pressure air slappin...

I followed this thread and helped out on monetary issues for a very long time, I have wondered about this beautiful little girl ever since. Just wondering if anyone here is still keeping up with her? I bet she is a beautiful young lady now Any news?

This probably happens when the mask is on and when lying down, the facial skin is distorted and when that happens, the mouth also tends to 'go crooked' so to speak, not much to do to change that I 'm afraid.

I dont know of anything to stop the drool, and dont be embarrased about that , I for one have had the same problem since I started using a mask , didnt matter what kind of mask, I still drooled, and still do to this day. I cannot use a ff mask, I imagine the problem with a seal is really bad with it...

I started CPAP therapy in Aug 2014. I didn't notice any noise from my CPAP machine until I moved to a new house in Sep 2015 and got a less obnoxiously loud aircleaner for my bedroom. When I mentioned a bad whistling noise, my DME didn't even care to know more, they just offered to swap out my unit ...

Thank you Pugsy and yaconsult, my comp has 6 slots for cards, lol,, I don't even know where the card is on my machine or what kind it is, let me go take a look/see and find it. And yes I prolly do need a newer version of the Viewer, obtained mine about 5 yrs ago or so. I never had a way of reading i...

My apologies Blueeyes, I did not mean to hi-jack your thread.. I am sorry..

Pugsy, which is the more comfortable to exhale on a bi-pap, lower number or higher number? After my last bout of double pneumonia, my pulmo. doc ordered a bi-pap for me, but he had the pressure set too low, I couldn't breathe in or out, so I raised it to my average daily pressure of 15, and went ba...

While VPAP is often advised for people with respiratory/lung issues it can also be useful for regular folks without lung issues who might simply need more pressure than cpap can deliver or they need more exhale relief than regular cpap can deliver. VPAP is just Resmed's marketing term for bilevel a...

Hello again my friends, old and new ...no..I am not dead, just been lurking in shadows and offline in between ... lolol.. Compliant? Yes, it has been almost seven years now since I started cpap, and have been 100% compliant the whole time. Even when I have been in the hospital, they had me on VPAP m...

I wonder if you are allergic to the materials in the mask or tubing? Seems unlikely. She is having inhaled allergen symptoms. I don't think there are any allergens in the mask or tubing. (You have to have a protein for that.) There might be something in the water, and she should definitely think ab...

Because I'm waking up a few times during the night to adjust my leaking Swift Lt, I am: - going to try putting a little cushion (made from a few layers of moleskin) on my upper lip to angle the pillows a bit more - trying the velcro cure found here: http://www.cpaptalk.com/viewtopic.php?t=5965&high...

When I first got my LT, like you , I had the whistles.. very annoying to say the least! And also,like you, I kept changing sizes until I found one that was comfortable and no whistles and no leaks. Which was a Medium. And like Hurricane suggested, use the Ayr gel. I use it religiously every night. N...

I have had bruxism/tmj all of my life. When I was a little girl, my Mom would awake me and tell me to quit grinding my teeth. And now years later, I have lost 3 jaw teeth, because of clenching my teeth together and grinding them, literally pushed the teeth out of socket. The jaw joints get really te...
