Jerry, fantastic that you were able to go to such great lengths and reach someone! I am a believer!

They said these were available from their suppliers. Holly said she would email me to get my address and send me two sets of adapter straps
Would it be best to contact the supplier (cpap.com in my case) or the company?

Geez, Snoozie! Now I'm even more worried! My chest has been hurting too after a couple weeks on the Aura. And I notice that sometimes when waking up or dropping to sleep with the Aura, I'll start grabbing really deep breaths as if I'm starved for air even though I feel no difficulty breathing at the time -- not enough oxygen?
Grace, I have done a little experiment and wore nothing but the Aura for this whole week and then went back to my Swift for one night. First of all, for some reason, I couldn't get the Swift to stop leaking, and at 3;00 a.m., was waking up with a headache so I switched to my Aura, and headache was gone by the time I got up. I just don't understand all of this! also found out that if I don't use the humidity, my chest has not been hurting in the morning. I can get by with this on the Aura with no problems, but with the Swift, I have to have the humidity or my nose freezes and feels like it will fall off. I am liking the Aura more and more all the time, and I am finding it takes a lot of time and patience to adjust to these things.

On another note, I was told if I have any labored breathing, it may be because I need bipap, so it may have nothing to do with the interface at all. I am just trying to sort all of this out. Does it ever end??
