Hey...

I'm sorry I don't have anything meaningful to contribute to this....

Just wanted to say for some people it does take time to see results, and to hang in there!!!!!

GO GO GO!

Thanks for posting!

That article just rocks!

I remember the technician at my sleep test...he proudly told me how he had done this for 17 years!!! Wow! I'm not sure if I was impressed or scared!

Great fun under the infrared lights!

Hello, As some of you might have seen I posted a few weeks ago about my impending (at the time) tonsillectomy. Now, on the otherside of that AGONY, something that even my ENT Doc did not promise, some good things seem to be emerging. I think it's important for me to say here that surgury to cure apn...

Just to clarify...my REMstar PRO CPAP does have a smart card, and if I ever got so curious I could monitor...something....what....I don't know!!

Hey Chris, Thanks for the post. I think I know what you mean.... As for searching for alternatives and sources... 1) first line of thinking...STDs...no worries there! 2) I did see an allergist, ran some test, not too sure what they were, but nothing came back as contributing to this problem. 3) Went...

Hi All, Just fishing for sympathy here...on Monday I'm getting my tonsils out. My journey started with a chronic sore throat and an observant GP. He said my large tonsils were 'certainly' contributing to other health issues via sleep apnea. He sent my off to an ENT who recommed a sleep study first. ...

Thanks for the post!

It's great that as members we can bring our own personal experiences and academic research into the forum!

Cheers!

Hey bear avoiding, mac-using, rock and roller! On comfort....here's my take...and again, i don't know the aura . If you sleep on your back most, the swift is better. It stays in my nostrils better, no leaks, and it doesn't have that fairly large 'pad' at the back of you head like the breeze does. No...

rock and roll...congrats on the mac use! I like you even more now!

Great news ! I feel so lucky...I have only a fairly weak graduate student extended health plan from SunLife Canada. Though my premium for this policy is $90 Canadian per year, they coughed up exactly $2000 for my CPAP , leaving me only to pay about $200 Canadian. For any Canadians in here, word on t...

Hey all I had been thoroughly pleased with the Breeze ...but for the avid followers of this site you may know my hair was not. So I tried the swift ...with great trepidation given everything I keep hearing about, well, hearing the swift while sleeping! To my great surprise...it's really not that bad...

Sleepygalpa,

I think restedgal is right on this...it's important to try to make things work, and recognize when that solution is just not right for your face.

I really like the nasal pillows too...great solution in my opinion!

It's so cute! I was left with only my breeze to hold while the two of you duked it out! But...speaking of which...I am Canadian...and I have been missing my share of professional-atheletes-beating-the-crap-out-of-each-other-sport sometimes referred to by its other name, hockey! So a good CPAP fight ...

Ok...I'm trying to drive up hits for dictionary.com with that title!! Word of the day CPAP style! Anyhow, it means 'commendation'! And that's just what I have for CPAP . Though things are less blissful in this lotusland of hoseheads.... My breeze is taking my hair...and setting it off in the breeze ...

Hey laniej

I have found that putting a dab of KY jelly in my nares works wonders. My RT told me not to use any non-water based lubricant.

I've been doing this for 3 months, and never had any more sores. Also, with regular cleaning, my breeze is still in great shape.
