Re: Dual Tests
We all do what we have to in order to live better by sleeping better. Sleep is worth a lot; and the folks selling it know that full well. Many investors look to the big sleep tech companies for their fortunes. Their numbers are going up. Capitalism. Competition. It is what it is. --better to light a...

Re: Reasons sleep is unsatisfying on Cpap - Poll
Thanks, spinner, but the shape of the liberty (small) curves out so far off my chin, I don't know if I could trust a Hybrid--isn't it just about the same thing? I think I gotta check the other providers here in town for try-ons. We have several, but BCBSNE won't tell you which ones have CPAP equipme...

Re: What tape do you use and why?
1-1/2" blue painter's tape cut in a truncated 'v' ( \_/) works most of the time for me;
With micropore, I have to weaken the adhesive by sticking it on my hand and peeling it off 2 or 3 times.
Otherwise, it is too painful to remove.

--reminds me of a device sold in adult novelty stores to do 'kegel' exercises--definitely not interchangeable!

Re: Reasons sleep is unsatisfying on Cpap - Poll
Why can't they make more sizes of masks?--I would love to use a hybrid (no taping), but the Liberty just does not fit and I can't even try on a Hybrid at my DME. Faces come in more sizes than shoes--and shoes cost a lot less! We are being ripped off! Totally! {{{Update: shortly after this discussion...

Re: Sinus Irritation with Nasal Pillows
My sinus irritation disappeared day one.
I had to tweak the level--one too high=rainout;
one too low=snot fountain all the next day.
Does that make sense?

Re: Relief -- Looks Like This Is Going To Be Okay
I know I've been accused of looking for the worst in people; but have you ever considered the possibility that the mess-up was NOT an accident? Does anyone know who to contact to get that looked into? This might NOT be an isolated incident. If this is a pattern, people may have been hurt, and others...

Re: Discussion of Small Jaws as Cause of Obstructive Sleep Apnea
I remember the very first thing my orthodontist said to me. "The other dentist shouldn't have removed my impacted 12-year molars; I could have made room for them." --And had it gone that way, the Quattro and the Liberty may have actually FIT me; or I may not even need CPAP. (insert expletive here)

Re: How do you maintain your dignity while using your CPAP?
I second that! Dignity is taking care of yourself, giving yourself the chance to continue living, enjoying the improved health that is within our reach. It is not giving into a system full of corruption and obsolescence, while quietly crawling into a corner to die. Dignity is accepting a challenge a...

Re: Marking Silicone
I'd like to try to reinforce some silicone. Has anyone tried the moldable earplugs or 2-part kneaded food grade silicone to modify cushions or pillows? Will anything stick?

Re: Jack Hanna uses CPAP
Maybe the reason that so many people think obesity causes apnea is because of diagnosis--or lack thereof. Take a roomful of random people: Any one with eyesight can pick out most of the obese people; Now tell us who has apnea. . .
