Re: Allergy to CPAP machine

Thanks to Pugsy sending me the link I've read the updates on here...just checked MY bottle of distilled water and sure enough it says the same thing! I hope Target isn't the only place to buy just steamed distilled water as we don't have one here in our area, but will check Walmart today to see what...

Re: Itchy nose, driving me mad! Any solution?

I have it and I use nasal pillows...but have also had it with my nasal mask. Not sure why exactly or why some nights it's worse than others or some nights I don't have it at all, but I tend to just scratch the itch and go on!

Re: OT: Moving again

Blackspinner...I soooo feel for you and wish you the best! I've been taking care of my mother for the past two years, but we moved her in with us. We are now "down to the wire" as she is pretty much bedfast, but I wouldn't have been able to do it without the help of my daughter and d-n-l, and the hu...

Re: Switching SD Card From Primary to Travel Machine

Don't know about different models, but I trialed a PRS1 apap and I just pulled my card out of the PRS1 cpap and put it in (didn't know any different!!) I did however, make a new "patient file" on the Encore and labeled it trial Apap, then downloaded my new data into it...I didn't download Sleepyhead...

Re: Thread for machine/computer Challenged among us

Hi Ems...I'm chiming in with Sleepy on this one...don't be afraid to ask about any of it! I'm only a little over 4 months in and still have a lot to learn, but am a whole lot farther than I was back when I started! If you could post some of your data, there are several on here who can point out what...

Re: Crazy!!!

I woke up the other morning like that....had my Fx pushed up to the top of my nose! I've done that one before, so have no clue why I did it that night and data said I'd only slept about 3 hours with it on! I was told when first joining the forum and these "unexplainable" things happen it's to be bla...

Re: New Swift FX Bella Mask.....

I got an email from my DME and he's getting my shipment ready to go, so looks like I may have my new Bella AND my new tubing for the Sleepweaver before March...he's been awfully good to "send ahead" and then bill it at the appropriate date!! I too have earrings, small ones I never remove, so hoping ...

Re: Ordering Through CPAP

I ordered my machine through cpap.com and had a wonderful experience...it arrived quickly too. Customer service is great, especially when you us newbs call with "dummy" questions!!

Re: New Swift FX Bella Mask.....

Just got a Bella from my DME today! It actually came as accessory parts to the complete FX for her mask. It also came with a card from Resmed asking me to try it out for a few days and then do a review on the Resmed site. After completing the review, Resmed will send me a $10 gift card to Starbucks...

Re: New Swift FX Bella Mask.....

Careful...this dual headgear package doesn't offer the short hose assembly that is needed. So anyone thinking of building your own Swift FX from EBay parts, we still need the short hose assembly (and some good deals can be found) as well as the nasal pillow. Oh shoot...you're right!! Wasn't thinkin...

Re: New Swift FX Bella Mask.....

My understanding of the ebay ad is it also comes "Packaged with optional Swift FX for Her headgear to offer two ways of wearing the mask, depending on patient’s style and comfort preferences , which is pretty cool for those who've not yet tried the regular Swift Fx for Her...you're sort of getting t...
