Re: Mirage Swift LT Nasal Pillow System

I like mine.. the best I've used but I'm new to CPAP.. 2nd mask. I had the pillows come out one night when I was on my side but I think I had the straps too loose. I keep going back and forth between the small and medium pillows too. The medium ones seem like they leak too much.. but the small seems...

Taping hasn't helped me unfortunately.

I saw my doctor today and mentioned to him the possibility of getting an APAP and if he thought another study would be a good idea. He's going to set me up with the sleep center again. He said they can also decide if the APAP is right for me.

Your profile is showing a "Classic tank" Plus and a "M" HH, you have one or the other style, they don't work together. If you have the "M" and can use the "M" HH over it would save money. Aflex is said by some to be better, the more options the better. Jim Also if you need a new HH, a external work...

Best APAP machine?

So I'm going to my doctors tomorrow to discuss hopefully getting an APAP machine. Any suggestions of what to get? I'm not sure if I'll have a say in it, but I'm trying to do some research just in case. Some of the features I like on my current machine are the heated humidifier and the cflex. So I'd ...

Well I seem to be sleeping through the night better.. I only notice myself wake up within the last hour of sleep. And I usually struggle with my mask at that point and either fall back asleep or take it off. I'm sleeping about the same amount as I was before the mask.. 7-8 hours.

I'm beginning to wonder if maybe I need an APAP machine. Regardless I'm betting my settings are wrong.. they made me sleep on my back or side the whole night and I usually sleep on my stomach, or toss back and forth. It sounds like less pressure may be needed. I made an appointment with my ENT for n...

I do tend to get a drink first thing when I wake up in the morning. My partner has not noticed anything. He did before the strap. What are the chances of my setting being wrong? I had my septum straightened after my initial sleep test but my ENT didn't seem to think it would make a difference. I wou...

I use a chin strap. I used to wake up to mouth leaking but after this strap I have not. How will I know if this is still an issue?

Not feeling better after CPAP

So I've been using CPAP for about 2 months.. one month successfully. And I don't feel any better. I still have to drag myself out of bed in the morning, and I'm sleepy during the day. Is it safe to assume something is wrong? Should I go back to the doctor? Or is this still to be expected in this sta...

yeah I can't deal with it clipped to the mask either.. I have it draping off the side of the bed.. with the hose clipped to the side of the bed so that it doesn't tug on the mask. I too went through a couple of weeks of adjusting.. of course I'm new to CPAP in general.. this being my second mask aft...

oh one other issue I have.. is a decent amount of condensation builds up in the pillows.. which I didn't notice with my last mask. But I also just started using a chin strap so that may be the reason why.. I noticed one other person complain about this in the review on cpap.com I've read some tips o...

Re: updates, anyone?

I bought an LT and have been using it the past few nights. Reading the responses on this item has been really helpful. Thanks to the LT owners who posted here. It's been a couple weeks since anyone's posted on this item. I'm wondering if those of you with issues worked them out, or those of you who...
