Re: switch from swift pillows to nano

yes, i like nose masks but the lower straps ride up and rub my ears and drive me crazy during the night, that's why i switched to the swift but my ears have been hurting me since i have started using them, i only have a pressure of 12, i didn't think it was that high but high enough that it obviousl...

replacment supplies

My DME told me today that my insurance won't cover any replacement during the 1-year rental period. Does this make sense to anyone else, it doesn't make sense to me, how am i supposed to make nasal pillows last a year when they are supposed to be replaced every 2 weeks... let alone filters for my ma...

leak data

I understand most of my data for the most part, but i don't understand the leak data, i didn't think i had leaks last night, i have nasal pillows and i was able to sleep, my pressure is high enough (12) that i usually feel it on my face if i have a leak. Can anyone tell me what this chart is saying,...

Re: Which Machine? (seeking successful treatment)

the DME might surprise you, i didn't do any research before i went to get my machine, and with me walking in completly clueless, they actually gave me an s9 Autoset... it's the default machine they give everyone! And the carry the whole line of ResMed masks! I really got lucky that's for sure...

Re: THE GREAT PILLOW EXCHANGE

I have swift fx xs and medium pillows i can trade for small. Just started using the Swift FX and would love to have a back up pair of pillows or two because i don't know how fast replacments come or if insurance covers them very often, only on week 3 of cpap and day 3 of nasal pillows.....
