Airfit 10 Nasal Pillows

This is the second attempt to give away four (4) Airfit10 nasal pillows, small size, brand new, never touched a nose. These came in new headgear packages with all three sizes. I hate to throw these away, since they cost $21.00 each. If any of you use small Airfit10 pillows, these will make a new mas...

Re: Is it worth buying a backup machine?

I have been on CPAP for 29 years. I have always kept a backup machine, although I've never had to use one. I am on my 6th machine. I use my backup for travel so I don't disrupt my setup by the bed. My son uses my old S10 and has an 11 as a backup I got from Lucretia Borgia. His S10 gave him a messag...

Looking For A Backup Machine

I'm looking for a backup ResMed S9 or S10 cpap machine for my son. A brick would be fine. Does anyone have one in good shape they would like to sell?

Re: Having an extremely dry mouth is a sign of mouth breathing?

I suffer from a recirculation problem, in that, when I relax, air enters my nasal pillows and a small amount comes OUT my mouth, drying it out. It wakes me up about every two or three hours, desperately needing a drink of water! I solved this problem with Biotene, a gel that coats the mouth keeping ...

Dry Mouth Gone!

I am not a mouth breather. However, for years I have suffered with dry mouth. I've tried all kinds of masks trying to solve my uncomfortable problem; several different types of ResMed, F&P, both partial and full face. Most recently, I obtained a Dreamwear full face, which was much better, but still ...

Re: Dry throat

I suggest you are opening your mouth and the air is drying out your mouth. I don't think humidity, Biotene or lozenges will do any good. Try a good chinstrap. like Ruby Red.

Full Face Masks and Headgear

I am a 24 year cpap user and have used almost every mask there is. I have been using a Swift II Mirage Nasal Pillow mask for a long time, like 10 years or so. For some time, I have recirculated air resulting in severe dry mouth that would wake me up several times a night. I thought a full face mask ...

Re: Full Face Mask

I'm a 22 year cpap wearer and have tried chin straps, head straps and have taped. Keeping my mouth shut doesn't work. The air bubbles up and fills my mouth until my cheeks pooch out. I have an appointment with a sleep doctor in April, as soon as he could see me. If anyone else has had any success wi...

Full Face Mask

I use a Swift II nasal pillow mask. I recirculate air out my mouth once I go to sleep and my throat relaxes. I wake up every couple of hours and have to have a drink, my mouth is so dry. Would a full face mask help? Thanks very much.
