Getting an APAP tomorrow (yay)! Need advice please!

I could use some advice on APAPs. After having my 2nd overnight sleep study in 2 years, my doc prescribed an Auto PAP for me, and the good news is that my old insurance company already bought the CPAP, so my new company will approve the new machine. The woman from my new DME is coming tomorrow, and ...

I flew Southwest about 7-8 times in the last couple months, and I had no problems whatsoever.

More recently, I've been healthy enough to exercise, and I've l...

Thanks for your reply, rested gal.

Actually, the doc is a CPAP user, but I realize there can be a significant conflict of interests that can arise there.

Thanks for the links. A lot to digest. But I'd always rather have too much info to sift through than not enough.

Thanks, Linda.

Funny you should mention hair. One of the cons with the Comfort Lite is that it makes permagrooves on the side of my head. So I have to keep my hair very short or else it looks wierd.

Hmmm...maybe I should bump the other masks ahead of the Aura on my list.

Thanks for the feedback, everyone. Much appreciated. Here's my list so far: Swift Aura / Headrest Breeze Activa Comfort Curve Are there any nasal masks that anybody can recommend, or is the consensus that nasal pillows are simply better (other than when your nose is particularly sore)? Thanks again.

[quote="Jere"]I am a dyed in the wool Aura lover. Sometimes I have to check to see if the thing is really on!

Newbie: Do I hate ALL nasal pillows or just the ComfortLite?

Hi all, Since this is my first time posting here, I wanted to introduce myself to everyone, and then ask my question. After having Sleep Apnea for 25+ years (I'm 37 now), I finally got diagnosed a little over a year ago (my sleep study was the night Boston won the World Series). I was snoring like a...
