I've been running a low grade fever since Saturday, unproductive cough, endless congestion and some sinus pain. Surprisingly, I stay clear most of the night with decongestants, and the warm humidified air feels very soothing. I'm concerned since I don't have a FF that eventually symptoms will overcome the opening effect of the swift LT. There is no real point to this thread other than to say, "yeah, me too". Maybe I'll find a use for that unused Oxycontin from that procedure a couple years ago .

Anyway, if you've been sick, I can finally say, I know how you feel.
I've had the flu for the last week or so with a sore throat, congestion, etc. I too have the Swift LT. What I've done with positive effect is to turn my humidifier to 4 or 5. I certainly feel better with the machine on! The only bad part is rain out. When my hose starts to gurgle, I unhook it from my mask and hold it down to let the water drain and then right back on.
