Anyone using the Easy Life Nasal Mask Phillips Respironics?

I am using the Swift LT Nasal mask and having trouble with sleeping and my nostrils get sore. Lots of sinus drainage running down my throat into my chest. A friend just got the Easy Life Nasal mask and I tried it on today. It seems that might be the best alternative for me as I have in the past trie...

Do you rely on your DME or perhaps a sleep specialist or GP?

Just wondering when you encounter problems such as not sleeping well and other issues with your CPAP do you mainly rely on your DME? Or do you perhaps have a sleep specialist that follows your progress? My GP wrote out my prescription and I am wondering if I should be seeing a sleep specialist with ...

Is it normal to want to give up wearing CPAP after 3 months

I have been wearing a CPAP for almost three months trying five different masks and now have the Swift LT pillow mask. It is the best one I have used and I am trying hard to be very compliant. I seem to wake up often and don't feel rested like they say you should with wearing a CPAP even after trying...

Does Lansinoh help with leakage on Swift LT nasal pillows

Am wondering if any of you use Lansinoh if you are experiencing leakage with Swift LT nasal pillows. If so do you just use a very small amount on the outside of the little nasal insert?

Help with leakage on Swift LT nasal pillow mask

I have been using the Swift LT nasal pillow mask for three weeks now and seem to be having more problems with leakage unless I am sleeping on my back which is hard for me to do for long periods. When I roll over on either side it starts to leak so it keeps me awake trying to adjust.

What is best nasal pillow and best chin strap

I have tried four different masks and am now thinking perhaps a nasal pillow would be the answer. Have most recently used the RESMED Mirage Liberty combo mask/nasal pillow. Am still having problems adjusting to that. A friend of mine uses the nasal pillow type and gets along great. If the medical su...

Problems with mirage liberty mask with sinus drainage

Does anyone with sinus drainage have trouble using the Mirage Liberty Mask with nose pillows? I wake up sometimes after a few hours almost gasping for air because the drainage runs down my throat where before I was able to cough and spit it out during the night.

Re: Using a Mirage Liberty #61301 combo full face mask

I am wondering if a humidifier with climate control is quite useful. I don't believe ours is climate controlled. Ours is a RESPIR-REMSTAR Auto W/A-Flex humidifier/#Ds6H. Maybe a climate controlled one would solve our problem of Rainout in the tubing. Does anyone have any comments or experience on th...

Using a Mirage Liberty #61301 combo full face mask

Is anymore using this type of mask and if so what problems are you having? I am having nasal issues with condensation. This is my fourth mask and it is much less cumbersome than the others. The extra piece of tubing that came with it seems unnecessary but we are not sure about that. I took it off la...
