I feel the same Kteague...but it wouldn't matter, I've just always been one for finding a way around the cost of anything. Arch, I'm having to change my filters a lot more often than once a month, so at least ordering off ebay is a better price, but the ones I get through my DME are a heck of a lot ...

Adrianne...I'm in about 4 months now...instant success no, but I haven't had a lot of the problems adjusting to the machine/mask that a lot of folks do. But I can say my headaches are gone and have been almost from day one of using the machine and for that I am very thankful...I got so tired of alwa...

Bert...I did look at some for the vaccums at our local Walmart, but we have a very small selection on just about everything here. The ones they did have were too think, or so I thought...I guess it would be possible to use that and not the foam with it...just thought of that, but I am also having hu...

Renne...I have the same problems...just sneezing my head off most of the time and I still can't seem to figure out a way to make it stop! I've been on cpap since Sept. didn't have any trouble til we started using the heat and we heat with wood. As I said, I've tried everything...today was another sn...

Just sent you a pm as well Heather!

Thanks for the info Rosie...believe I will try this myself!!

Indy...eucolyptus oil or wintergreen on a cotton ball set behind your machine!

Elle...take it from a fairly new newbie...if you wear glasses the Fx is a great mask especially if you like to read in bed like I do!! And tight it does not need to be...now that I have mine adjusted I slip it off and on and never have to readjust, so it can slip on easily making you think it might ...

I've been scouting around too for something to use that was more "cost effective". I am changing out my filters quite often so thought if there was some other type of "material" that could be used it would sure be nice! I looked in furnace filters, but was afraid cutting the pleated material would c...

VVV...I actually did turn the humidifier down, thinking I was getting too much moisture, since house air was drier...that's when I ended up off work 2 days! So, I went back up. All the rest, flue, venting, ect. is good...hubby does get careless sometimes when removing ashes, but me yelling at him us...

Wenda, several of us on here use and have tried the SW. Personally, I love it, very comfortable mask, but it does have issues with leaking. If you would fill in your profile with the equip you're currently usng you will get a great many suggestions and great advice. My most used mask is the Swift Fx...

Kairo...I already do all that, plus the neti pot, saline spray, nasonex, and zrytec! NightMonkey...I've posted on others the problems I'm having so just didn't want to keep repeating myself. In a nutshell though...sleep fine through the night, nose is clear, numbers good, ect. ect. Wake up and withi...

Yep...have always kept a pot on the wood stove, but no way that's going to put enough in the air! It's just never bothered me before cpap!! And thanks for the info Xena..may see what hubby can order one for through his store...I looked at the April Aire's and the Honeywells, but it's the next step i...

Squid..was looking at my Fx, thinking maybe I could swap back and forth, but since I only have the one and the cost of replacement is horrifying!!!...I wasn't about to chance it and ruin my other good mask! I do rather like the idea of a swivel though!

uhhh...wrong kind of pillows there Adam!!
