I haven't tried the Opus, but I have used the Swift LT for about a week, and I found it instantly comfortable. I back and side sleep,and I can move around without any problem. It is very light, easy to clean, I'm very happy with it. The mask I had before was a Comfortgel nasal mask, which was not co...

tomjax, Not trying to hijack the thread, but I am really sorry to hear that you lost your license the way you did. I suppose you tried all the appeal processes? Or perhaps you were ready for a change in careers. I only know that the difference I have felt in the three weeks since I started CPAP is n...

I've only used my Swift LT for one night, but it was a whole lot more comfortable than my Comfort Gel. I went back to my RT to show him the damage the Comfort Gel was doing to the bridge of my nose. He agreed the mask shouldn't be causing that wound, so we tried different masks and decided to try to...

I've had mine for about 2 weeks. My instructions booklet says I can boil it, but I haven't tried it yet. The RT who gave it to me and explained everything made it sound like it was easy to damage the mask (I remember him saying if you drop it it will break, etc.), so I was a little afraid to try. If...

Thanks for the info so far. The link list is very helpful, and I am wading through them all, but I'm having a hard time visualizing the set-up. Does anyone have pictures of how they have it set up...so I could actually see what's connected to the battery terminals, how the cigarette lighter plug is ...

I never thought about what to do if the power went out, until everyone here began mentioning it. What are the battery recommendations for my machine, and please be specific, 'cause electricity is NOT my specialty. Does anyone have the Respironics battery? Is a deep charge marine battery the same as ...

Nope...no carrying case either

You may not have gotten the extra straps, but at least they gave you a CD. I read your post and thought, "There's a CD I was supposed to get with my mask ? "

If you do decide you want to try to switch to sleeping on your back, you might want to try putting a pillow under your knees. It takes some pressure off your low back, and makes it a little harder (but not impossible) to roll over in your sleep. I've also seen some chiropractic pillows that put your...

I don't know if this will apply for you or not. I don't really understand it myself. But my sleep doctor's office said I could use any DME my insurance company allowed, but if I went through a DME, I'd have to pay my deductible and copay. They said if the doctor's office ordered the CPAP equipment d...

I don't know anything about how well this works, but there is a one-person bed fan called "The Bed Fan" listed on cpap.com. Here's the link: https://www.cpap.com/productpage/tompkins-research-bed-fan-bedfan-night-sweats-cool-sleeping-comfort.html If being hot is a problem (and I can definitely relat...

Hi everyone. I am really happy I found this board. I have learned so much already, just searching for threads about questions I had. I just became a hosehead last Tuesday. So far I am experiencing the "typical" issues, from what I've read, but I want to make sure I do everything I can to maximize my...
