Re: pillows and puppies

Hi Carbonman, What kind of a cutting tool do you use to shape your memory foam pillow? The cuts look clean. I would like to trim my pillow but not sure what tool to use. I don't have a electric carving knife. Its seems like if you hold the pillow too firmly it would compress like a marshmallow. What...

Re: Please Can Anyone Help with Problem

Sometimes I would get a little tickle in the back of my throat after settling into bed. I found that a product called Biotene mouthwash swished around for a minute helped to keep my mouth moist during the night. I also brush with Biotene toothpaste at night. Articles about the possible causes of dry...

Re: Having mask problems (possibly due to stomach sleeping?)

Dear Dottie, I have been reading your post with much interest. As of lately I've have experienced the same problems with the Swift Lt as you have. I have been using my Swift Lt for about 3 months now when a couple of weeks ago I started to have sharp pains at the inside edge of the nares. The use of...

Re: Location of obstruction too much for nasal pillow?

The two adjustments I made to reduce leaks while wearing my Swift Lt was to change the nasal pillow size from a small to a medium. Apply even less Lansinoh to the nares and to the outside of the pillow. Just want them to be a little tacky. I have noticed less hissing during the night.

Re: figured out AHI mystery

Hi Nobody, My experience is similar to yours. On the days that I would vacuum, dust or use household cleaners my sinuses rebelled. I'll use the netti pot to help clear the congestion. Before CPAP days I really didn't pay too much attention to how my sinuses reacted to those activities. I have become...

Re: Rain-out on Swift LT ?

Hi Rosacer, I'm new to cpap and about 45 days into my journey. Wearing the Swift Lt has helped make my treatment successful. I have experienced rain-out with this mask. I solved the rain-out issue by using a hose cover and turned the humidifier down to 1.5. I also wrapped the short tube of the mask ...
