Re: New SWIFT FX--ANYONE using it yet?
One thing I noticed and maybe it's just me: the right flare seems to have slightly larger opening than the left flare. And the right side seems to 'leak' every once in a while??? I noticed it just last night and haven't had a chance to compare to the medium and large size pillows at home. Anyone els...

Re: New SWIFT FX--ANYONE using it yet?
I've been using it a little bit over a week, and I love it. Keeps in place with no leaks all night, and I toss around from side to side and it dosen't interfere. I've been sleeping great since and would highly reccommend. I use the lanisoh ointment in the nares and I believe it helps hold the ends i...

Re: Mirage Activa?
I used the Activa LT after tearing my nose up with a Mirage Micro. I was satisfied with the results, like several others stated, I was able to sleep on my side without leaks. It was confortable and allowed time for my nose to heal, plus the fact that it "rides" up and down on inhale /exhale makes a ...

Re: Can't use Swift FX and I love it
I've been using it for about a week and I have somewhat experienced the same thing. I will tell you that it's nowhere near as uncomfortable as the nasal mask I was using though. I use the lanisoh ointment and that seems to help with leaks as well as the soreness. I love the fx though as i am a side ...

Swift Fx finally arrives!!!
Hello all, recieved my new Swift Fx yesterday. I had too wait 2 weeks for delivery, but now am happy to have it. I used it last night, and it was different than my Activa.

Re: And away I go!!!!
Well it's been over 1 week, and I can say what a difference. I have sooooo much more energy and feel sooooo much better. I am 100% compliant and have been since the first night, can't imagine sleeping again without my gear. My nose is fully healed and the new activa I have allows me full movement fr...

Re: And away I go!!!!
Well I called the dme today, my swift fx won't show for another 4-5 days. Guess it's being delivered pony express. In the mean time, I finally used my brain and realized that since i'm in the medical field, I have access too the sleep lab techs and dr's easier than the average joes. I took a chance ...

Re: And away I go!!!!
Hello all, Just about one full week into my cpap therapy. I have noticed a considerable change in my alertness and ability to focus on things longer. My nights have been getting progressively easier to tolerate. I have not had any nights where i could not use the machine and mask for the entire nigh...

Re: And away I go!!!!
First off, I want to thank everyone for their positive remarks and tips. Night number two went this way: I swapped the nose piece in my mask and loosened it just enough not to cause leaks. I still woke up during the night and this morning with the bridge of my nose sore and the skin surrounding the ...

Re: And away I go!!!!
Ok so here's the skinny. I hooked everything up, set my humidification to 1.5, and settled in for a good nights sleep. I ended up with a slight sore throat, so I'll be adjusting humidifier too 2.0 this evening. Checked the data this am, machine showed 4.2 hrs asleep and AHI of 0. I feel about the sa...
