a problem with gas

I know that I asked once before what you do for this problem but it went away and I don't remember what was suggested. It's really embarassing and I would appreciate any ideas.

Re: My Adventure with Moleskin - Don't try this at home!

I also have been looking for some comfort. I am tired of lines in my fat little face (What if they become permanent????---OMG they are already setting it up) and puffy beady little eyes. I tried very thin panty liners and it worked for awhile and then they began to slip---maybe tryi;ng to find home ...

omg!!!! it does work

I read in a posting awhile back that someone had tried using panty liners on the mask. I was getting right tired of creases in my fat little face and swollen beady little eyes in the morning so I thought what the heck---guess what, it worked!!!! My daughter was grossed out but oh well. I put the lit...

Re: Anyone use Sinus Buster for Congestion ?

Actually, since I found a mask to fit and turned up the humidity control on the machine, I do not wake up congested anymore---coughing, yes, snotty, no.

a rather delicate subject

Since I have been using the cpap I seem to have an unusual amount of gas. Can cpap with its presssure changes cause this? Also is there somewhere that I can sell my unloved masks?

new mask better

I've had one nite with the Mirage Quattro and maybe it is too soon to judge but it was really comfortable---and---it fit. The CPAP pillow wasn't bad either.

I think the funniest thing I heard at the sleep lab was after I was all hooked up and they told me to get a good nites sleep.

New mask

Went to a different vendor today and took equipment with me. First of all, the mask I was using was too big! Then she let me try several different maskes so I could make an "informed choice." That didn't happen at the first place. I liked the Mirage Quatro and will be testing it for a week to see ho...

The masks from heck

I hate to be such a CB but I am still having mask issues. Switched from a full face silicon mask(Phillips) to a gel full face (Phillips). I am using RemZzz liners and it still doesn't help. I have a permanent dent on the bridge of my nose which really bothers me since I have had several sinus surger...

feeling better

I am starting to feel better during the day. It has been about 2 weeks since I started using the mask. Rash is under control with the gel mask and using the Remzzz liner really helps in this heat. For fun: Why is it that the nose NEVER itches until I get the mask on? Is it related to the hands in th...

Re: rash from mask

Had to use the silicon mask last nite and I hated it. I was getting really fustrated because it just didn't seem to fit as well as the gel mask. Woke up with nice headache which may be allergies more that mask. What a crab I am!!!! I am trying so hard to make this work. Does anyone else feel like Da...
