Re: Yesterday I had RF somnoplasty + turbinate reduction

Are you fully recovered from surgery, no pain or residual swelling?

Re: I hate my shady DME and Doctors office

I concur. Everyone should get a copy of their "script". If it's not correct, have your physician correct. Most of the time they are accommodating, but if not, it's still your choice who you choose for your care. Exercise your rights!

Re: Yesterday I had RF somnoplasty + turbinate reduction

It sounds like you're through the worst of it, thank goodness! I'm very glad to hear that you're feeling much better. No way would I want to go through what you've been experiencing.

Although it's been difficult, I appreciate you taking the time to relate what you've been going through.

Re: FFM Help

I also recommend Pad-a-Cheek mask liners. They helped my mask fitting issues, are very comfortable, and best of all, long lasting!

Re: Poll: Should OT posts be banned from cpaptalk.com?

Most Off topic posts are stated as OT, if you don't want to get involved then don't read it. I start my day with this forum, I turn on my computor, go get my coffee and sit town to see whats up with my friends. If theres an OT thread I will take a look at it but if its gone off on a tangent or not ...

Re: Which full face mask do you prefer?

Demeter_Soul, which Hybrid are you using? Does it work well for either nose or mouth breathing? Is that the mask you have in your equipment list? If so, that's two good recommendations. I just received a new Quattro, but it may be worth it to pay for the hybrid out of pocket to try. Yes, Hephaestus...

Re: Which full face mask do you prefer?

Nice, thank you for the link LSAT. I'll give it a try tonight and report back the results. Ok, as promised, I followed the instructions in that link and I found the results to be effective! I use APAP, so when I first put on my mask and turn on the machine, the pressure isn't very high. So I set my...

Re: OT: Birth Cert - For those that need proof read this......

I also have mixed feelings about politics here since I come here for CPAP info and not to hear the oft repeated lie that President Obama is not an American citizen. I don't recall anyone saying that Obama was not an American citizen. I did state that Obama's not a Natural Born US citizen, but I nev...

Which full face mask do you prefer?

I know there've been discussions on this subject in the past, but I thought it would be nice to get an update. As listed in my equipment, I use the Mirage Quattro full face mask (FFM). I prefer to breath through my nose, but because my nose is stuffy, I find that I am more comfortable to breath thro...
