Re: Have an Autoset for Trial....I'm having problems

I will call the DME in the morning and hopefully she will tell me how to change the settings. I don't want to have to drive to the office just for that when I know it is just a matter of pushing a couple of buttons... I certainly know how to do that. Anyone can push buttons. It's knowing which butt...

Re: OK All You Poligrip People. Are You KIDDING ME??

It's not that deep, people. Bend the strip to conform to the contour of your lips. Run them under the faucet, apply to lips, overlap in the middle and close yer trap. I cover over with a 6" strip of 2" blue tape and I get 0.00 leaks.

It happened to me the first few weeks of therapy. Then it stopped. Yours will too.

Re: Sexual Molestation at the Sleep Lab

Lighten up. DreamStalker obviously meant no offense and no harm. If the subject bothers you so much why did you bother to open the thread and read it? The subject was quite clear. I'm sorry for what you endured but why deliberately expose yourself to a thread that upsets you so?? I had a friend die...

Re: Polident Strips or Paste - Need instructions from a "pro"

I don't understand the problem. You can "bend" the strips to conform to the contours of your lips. I just bend 'em with my fingers prior to placement. Practice will help you find exactly where to place them to minimize inside or outside overage. Occasionally, I still guess wrong (after 3 months). I ...

Re: Should I switch to nasal pillow?

Give it a try. What do you have to lose? I am a Swift LT user and I tape and use polygrip strips. Most nights I get 0.00 leaks. The occasional leak numbers are usually countered with a tightening of the head straps. I tried a Quattro for a week and it was pure hell. I swear that the Quattro was desi...

Re: Another quote from Sleep doc visit.....

I got "other" benefits from Xpap. I can't say I feel more "rested," but I no longer take a nightly sleep aid (Restoril or Ambien) and my PVC's have completely gone away (benefit from less adrenalin in my system, I'm guessing).

So, chalk me us as a happy camper.
