Welcome! It has been life changing-improving for me. And it can only get better as I learn more. Best ...

Re: Free at last--my hair is free at last thanks to Bella Loops

I would like to give the loops a try Does anyone use them with a nasal mask vs nasal pillows? I have a mirage fx nasal mask and wonder if the loops would work with them?

Re: 3rd night CPAP -- Sleep Hygiene vs. dangerous exhaustion

I suffer from arthritis in my knee and when I started cpap I used 2 Tylenol PM's to get me to sleep and stop the pain. Now I'm down to 1 Tylenol PM and it's really helped me. Your mileage may vary:)

Re: Im a "stomach sleeper"! What Mask should I use?

I've been using the Mirage fx nasal mask and........it's very lightweight and comfortable for me I've always been a mouth breather while asleep. Wish I could find a FFM that's as light and comfortable as this nasal mask is......I'd be in heaven.
