Cervical Collar
I am a mouth breather so I read on here that a cervical collar would help keep my mouth shut so I bought one. I have been using it about a week. It seems comfortable enough and I get to sleep quickly, however I wake up in the middle of the night with pain in my right ear. After I take the collar off...

Re: Neck and head pain
I am pretty sure I have the straps as loose as possible. Thank you for suggestions. What pillow set ups do you use?

Neck and head pain
I am using the Resp Amara View Mask. I like it a lot, however, I wake up every morning with the back of my head and my neck in almost unbearable pain. Last night I decided to sleep without using C-pap machine and the pain is 90% gone. I have a Sys one 560 Auto-set with a setting of 10 to 15. I am a ...

Attn: All Chin strap users
I have only tried one chin strap that my DME gave me. It didn't work worth a darn. I have been taping my mouth, but I break out everywhere the tape is. I would like to try another chin strap or two and see if I can find one that would work for me. My DME only has one other one which is called Ruby R...

Re: I want my sleep doctor to order an autopap
Update My mom always told me "It doesn't hurt to ask". So I very politely asked the nurse if I could exchange my machine for an auto pap. I told her it was because I was continueing to lose weight and I thought my pressure could change because of that. She called me back the next day and said my sle...

Re: White or Apple Cider Vinegar
I was also told to use dish soap. Ivory liquid is what they told me.

Re: Swift LT
I am familiar with the vent hole and that air should be coming out of it. the air I feel is the actural place where the end of the hose from the mask connects to the long hose on the cpap machine. If there should be no air felt there, how would I fix that? Would duct tape work? I hate to tape it at ...

buying a machine on craigs list
should I be concerned about whether a person selling a machine actually owns the machine or how he or she acquired the machine. for instance: stolen, renting from a DME, etc.

Swift LT
Is it correct to feel air coming from the place where the hose from the Swift LT connects to the hose from the machine?

Re: I want my sleep doctor to order an autopap
My sleep doctor never gave me a script. He just sends orders to the DME.

Re: I want my sleep doctor to order an autopap
Sorry I took so long to reply, I had to go out of town today. I have been using this machine since July of last year. Personally, I don't think it's fair to make me keep this machine. I sure had no idea what I was getting, since this was all new to me. I understand that the DME would have to take ba...

Re: I want my sleep doctor to order an autopap
No it is not, I thought I had changed it to the correct one. I have a "Compact" not a "Vanvage"
