Re: New mask: toughing it out?

I've been using the Swift FX for her for almost a year because it's the least of all evils. I have to wear a chin strap and tape my mouth which I wish I did not have to do. When I add the black eye mask I look like a Tie fighter pilot. I decided to try the PR Dreamwear mask after reading about it h...

Re: Help for New User !

Oh crap....I looked quickly at the image of the machine and brain thought "AirSense" and that's why I said Sleepyhead.

Re: Way to go you Idiots - APOLOGY ALSO

Welcome, Gary! It's really nice of you to try to change the direction of this thread, but may I suggest you start a new thread all your own. A lot of people AREN'T reading or responding to this thread, trying to let it die a good death (meaning it will fall to other pages). So you won't get as comp...
