Still trying to get complaint. Thought the Hybrid was gonna be the answer but between the cumbersome headgear & the pain it caused on upper bridge work, I quit using several months ago. Have got to get back w/ the program as feeling bad. DME thinks maybe the Respronics Total Face Mask may be the ans...

Hey I'm just inquiring cause I, along w/ probably a lot of other folks have not been able to master the art of cpap. Problably have to try starting my machine up again & give it another go.

I thought this was a fourm that was open to any types of treatment that may be helpful. I wasn't aware it had to be cpap.

guess i'll take that as a negitive. but have you heard of it?

I was just reading on Web MD that there is a surgery that has been OKd by the FDA that is called Pillar Palatal Implants that are inserted in the throat I think. It takes about 10 minutes @ a cost of $2K which they say will be quite a bit less in the very near future. I have been on & off w/ cpap si...

there was a post earlier about this & I still would like to know if the air coming out of the mask should feel warm. I stopped w/ my treatment a couple of months ago & humidifier about to try again but when I stopped one of the reasons was my inner nose & throat would be cold & I kept having congest...

I'll third that! I too am very glad I fell upon this site. There is nowhere to get good info about OSA, not my pulmanary specialist, not my DME folks & not my family doc. I have learned about 90% of what I know about OSA from here & I'm glad it is here. Thanks to all!!!

If your not sure if your mouthberathing or not, does it matter if your apnea's stay below 4.0?
Thanks, Gary

I just read a post by jeepdoctor and someone made a comment about there being alot of discussion on this site about folks having problems w/ their jaws & or teeth. i just started using the Hybrid f/f mask & it has been a great thing but the last couple of day's I have been having some discomfort w/ ...

I too give it a big two thumbs up & w/ the hybrid f/f mask I'll throw in a big toe.

Hi WC! I also had been using the Swift nasal pillows & had problems w/ mouth leaking. I used a chin strap but I don't believe it was much help. One of the folks where I had my sleep studies done gave me a Hybrid F/F to use & I too am sold on it. I have a full beard & mustache & w/o having to tighten...

HELP PLEASE! I thought I was posting but I guess it went to the admin. Anyway I just tried using my new card reader w/ encorepro smartcard, encorepro software & driver, from my respironics bipap pro 2. All I have been able to retrieve from the card is compliance data. This is what the DME has been t...

Last week I began using a Respironics Bi-pap Pro-2 w/ Bi-flex & it seems to be working a lot better for me as w/ my old C-pap machine I couldn't tolerate the high volume of air on exhale. Although I feel more rested & am getting an avg. of 5-7 hours of sleep compared to 2 hours before, I still somet...
