Hi MX Welcome. I think I'd be looking for a new doctor who might be more familiar with sleep apnea. If your mask is fitting right, there shouldn't be any reason to sew anything in your jammies to keep you from sleeping on your back. That is the whole purpose of CPAP- consistant pressure to keep the ...

Does anyone know if obstructive sleep apnea can contribute to Restless Leg Syndrome or Periodic Limb Movements in sleep. I've been on CPAP now since March and have been having a lot of trouble with my legs especially at night. Sometimes it feels like a biting feeling and other times it feels kind of...

O.k., so I had the same problem last night. In the middle of the night I got up and came in to work on the computer since I was so frustrated. I logged in here, only to read unclebob's reply to my post. So, now, not only do I have a big nose, but I'm being compared to an elephant? Great. And, how do...

This may sound crazy, but I am vexed about a certain situation I am facing (or nosing as the case might be-lol). I've been using my Headrest/Aura nasal interface now for about a month. When I switched to this from my Comfortgel mask; I fell in love with it at once. It fit great, didn't leak, and I l...

I posted a reply on this last night, but I guess it didn't go through. I bought one of these off of a Yahoo auction. I opened it up, tried it on, turned on my Remstar, and hated the Nasalaire. So, I washed it all up with antibacterial soap, and it's been sitting in the bag ever since. It is a size s...

Oh my gosh, someone else remembers that too? I had that in my Windows Media library for a while just as something to give me a good laugh when I needed one.

Don't you think that nasal interface units have been around long enough now that they would have invented something to stop those annoying leaks that sometimes happen no matter how well you have your mask adjusted? I mean, they have Polygrip for denture wearers; so why don't they have something like...

I love my Everest Headrest Aura. Been using it now for a couple of weeks, and can sleep in virtually any position (with the exception of flat on my face in the pillow, but that's unhealthy anyway). I've read comments that the Breeze is not a good back-sleepers mask. You don't have to have the Headre...

I'm in my 2nd week of using the Aura. Previously, I used the Respironics Comfort Gel mask. I do NOT notice that the Aura seems unusually loud at all. As far as the noise coming from the sharp turns in the nosepiece, I'm a bit unsure of what you are speaking of there. Mine does have curves in the nas...

I've gotten several offers, and have contacted the person who responded first. Thanks for all the interest!

This is weird. Last week I ordered and received my Aura Nasal Mask from my DME, and I am simply in love with this mask. I guess they figured that I would love it so much that they sent me another one. When I called them to report that they had double shipped to me (and surprisingly didn't double bil...

most companies don't want masks returned because of the limitations on how much they can be sterilized.[/quote]

Received my new Aura mask yesterday, and I must say that I think it is love this time. Not at first sight though, as I was a little concerned at the appearance of the mask when I first opened the box. I took a nap with the mask on yesterday afternoon using the med. sized nasal pillows, and was think...

hey blackcat- I wonder if your pressures are different in the U.K., but none-the-less. I've had the same problems going on. I've only been using CPAP for a couple of months now, and was issued the Comfort-Gel mask as well. My pressure is only 8 at the max., and I was pretty happy with the mask at fi...

O.k., now that I've totally turned off all the men here. I gotta say that after a lot of trouble with rainout in my Comfortgel mask, and trying everything from insulating the hose to wrapping/duct taping a heating pad around the hose, I've discovered that it's not even the humidifier that is causing...
