Hi again, First of all thanks for all the info FF, Ufo, CQ, R&R, and Margaret, and everyone else that wrote. Lots of helpful info. My nose was sore from higher up, not the pillows. Too much air I guess with the pillows. But will try again when I get home. (with larger pillows!!!) Throat is sore agai...

I meant trying to use the Swift again! I am traveling and dont have all my info here. Anyway........ I received 3 sizes but the Techie said I should use the small one. I did the first couple of nights but then tried the medium since I remembered others using the med and larger ones. Why should that ...

Hi again! I tried the humidifier last night for my dry nose problem (healing up to try the Breeze again). I am still not sure I am doing it right. I just pushed the Heat button on the machine (after putting water in it !) I can't set this machine manually since the Tech has it set on 6. I noticed FF...

Thanks FF for your quick reply again! I thought the first 2 nights I was humidifying because I had put water in it but realized it wasnt on. That is because I need more info. Where do you set the #3 etc. for humidifier? I am in Fla where it is humid too, but nose is in need of something! Thanks ever...

Hi friends, I did get the Swift nasal pillows and was excited to be able to see while trying to breath! Seemed to be doing fine until nose bloody. I had advice to try KY Gel or similar and did it on first night. But my poor nose was very sensitive air I guess. Would using humidifier help or hurt mor...

Hi to all my cpap friends! Thanks for the help and kindness from others that have been down this road! I used the Swift nasal mask last night with my new machine. I slept good (but that was never a problem!) but this mask is louder than the other one and took a few minutes to get over the surprise o...

Thanks for the advice. I will take it and try to just relax with it. I guess I'll know more in a couple of weeks when I finally talk to the sleep Dr. about my last test results. It just seems weird to me that I could have this. If I see a difference it will be worth it but still hard to believe so m...

Hi to all! I just got a new mask (Swift nasal thing). Any tips for first night?? I see where some of you think to lube nostrils is beneficial. Should I just try it first and then adjust accordingly. Just don't want sore nose tomorrow! I also told my Tech I hated not knowing what ( if anything) I was...

Grab, I actually slept good last night with my mask on! However I did wake up this morning with red area around nose. Guess it was too tight. You said that you set your machine higher . How? Mine is set on 6 and doesn't move. I guess Dr must have done that somehow. Who knows? Anyway I probably will ...

Jan, I really don't know what is considered "normal procedure" with this. I don't have the equipment either to tell if my #6 setting is okay or what. Guess I'll just try to hang in there. I think my Tech was supposed to call me in a week or so. I did okay the first 3 nights but last night I couldnt ...

Thanks for quick reply. Yes, I did have a sleep study. In fact I had 2 that were different. The first said I had OSA and the second said I did not. The next 3rd time was with the cpap machine and I havent gotten or heard about the report yet. (I have called for a copy as I do have the first 2.) The ...

one month and come back and we'll see how you are feeling then?" I had no idea there was any way to read results etc. The Tech who brought machine to my home mentioned it. I had no idea patient could actually check on it at home! So I guess I won't know until I go back if I should be at higher # or ...

Wonder .....Am I the only one who's Dr said, "Try it for a month and come back and we will see how you are feeling." ? I didnt even know anyone else could read it until the Tech came to the house with the machine and told me the Dr would read it. Thanks. Sort of like everything is mysterious and tha...

Thanks for the info. Why didn't the doctor mention any of this? I thought only he had some way to read it. I feel like everything is a secret I have to figure out. Glad I found this site! I am so new at all this. I thought I had the humidifier on last night but it wasn't on. I don't think doctors kn...

New, sleepy c-papper here trying to learn about all this stuff!!
