Re: The Bella Loops. Your Experience??
I bought the Bella Loops when they first came out. I still like them very much because I can not stand having anything around my head. I do have a problem with getting a good seal sometimes. I think there is a fine line between how loose or tight the straps need to be.

Re: The Bella Loops. Your Experience??
Some days I am very aware of it and others I find myself wondering if I forgot to put the darn thing on. I have only used the Swift FX and the Bella Loops are definitely better than the headgear that I found to move about as I tossed about. The days that I am aware of having it on, it is as though t...

Re: Nasal Congestion + Nasal Mask = No Therapy
Does a hot steamy shower help your congestion? If so, you likely have your answer as to whether adding humidity will help with congestion. I have had a couple of colds since I started cpap therapy. I found that with a bit of decongestant and cranking up the humidifier that I slept about as well as ...

Nasal Congestion + Nasal Mask = No Therapy
Which also equals one super tired girl. Went out of town this past weekend and second night went to bed with nasal congestion which I contributed to allergies since we were in Austin, TX which is very populated with different kinds of trees. Came back home to a full cold and a continuation of not be...

Re: New Swift FX Bella Mask.....
I loved the Bella straps!! I could barely feel that I had a mask on. In fact, I had to mentally remind myself that if I got up in the middle of the night to remember that I was attached. The angle of the regular straps (going above the ears) pushed the mask onto my upper lip and it drove me crazy. I...

Re: New Swift FX Bella Mask.....
Just received them in the mail. "Delicate looking" is definitely how I would describe them. My first thought when I saw how thin they were, was how quickly would they stretch out and have to be replaced. I am excited about trying them...wish bedtime was here already. Will post a review in the morning.

Re: New Swift FX Bella Mask.....
ems: Since the top strap seems to make my hair very unhappy, (lots of breakage--right on top) I might consider it just to get rid of that spiteful strap--or maybe wrap it in fabric. I ordered the cheek pads (light blue fleece strap covers) and they seemed too large on my face so I may have ordered ...

Re: New Swift FX Bella Mask.....
I just purchased the ones off of Ebay. I find with the regular headpiece, that when I move around it also moves, slides, etc. Tightening it too much, makes it push too much on my nose and I start feeling like Wilbur the pig. If I find that I do not like them, my thought is to pass them on to one of ...

First Night with DATA on DeVilbiss IntelliPAP AutoAdjust
Have a new Auto CPAP, DeVilbiss IntelliPAP AutoAdjust, and finally am able to pull some data. Had a "loaner" REMstar M Series with a set pressure of 9. Here are my numbers off of the machine using the SmartCode: 95th Percentile Pressure - 13.0 90th Percentile Pressure - 12.0 AHI - 5.0 NRI - .50 EPI ...

CPAP vs Auto
I have been an amazed user for 2 weeks and I definitely feel great. I have read so much information that my brain cells are resisting any more data. My intelligence is 10% mine and 90% Google. Maybe a dumb question but if an Auto machine detects your "needs" why would anyone be on a CPAP with a cons...

Re: Desperately Needing HELP ASAP
Ok..I pulled the hose vertical and shook it towards the machine and that seemed to work. I will post again if once I climb into bed and put it on if it didn't solve it. Thanks so much...you talk about someone having a near panic attack. My CPAP is my new best friend

Desperately Needing HELP ASAP
I always put the mask/nose piece on for a few minutes and then turn it on as I get used to it being there. But now the nose piece is "gurgling" even when the machine is not on and I am breathing through it. What is the world is going on and how do I fix it??? After 5 days of being on the CPAP, I am ...

Getting Data off a M Series Auto CPAP with A-Flex??
How do you get data off of my machine?? I tried finding information on the internet but can find what the symbols mean. Reviewing other posts on here, it seems like the data isn't as detailed as other machines???

Re: 3 day CPAP user and I AM AMAZED but do have a few questions
Thank you for your words of encouragement. With this new found energy, I very much intend on losing weight. All ready this weekend, I have cleaned out closets, drawers, cabinets, etc. Of course only day 3 but it seems that I have eaten a lot less this weekend because I am not glued to the couch. I d...
