nasty head cold, home sick off CPAP

Post by KFhunter » Thu Mar 26, 2009 2:42 am

I got a nasty head cold, totally plugged my nose up.

All I have for a mask is the swift LT in my sig, no full face jobber yet. DME tells me I gotta wait 6mo before my insurance will purchase a new one for me. I plan to get the FF for backup.

with the nose all plugged I can't get any air without mouthbreathing, so I slept for 2 nights without it.....I feel good too. whats up with that? wife says I havn't been snoring at all, before CPAP I snored like crazy every night and now even with a head cold I havn't been snoring. weird

should I buy a full facer anyways? Kids give me a lot of head colds, they drag it home from school and I kiss em and mug em all the time and get it

my biggest worry is I'm on the compliance thingie, wonder what the gustapos will do if they see I've been off CPAP for a few days?
