Switched from Swift LT to FX

Post by Geminidream » Sat Nov 06, 2010 5:44 am

I just switched from the Swift LT mask and headgear to the Swift FX and I really like it much better. Okay, as much as anyone can really "like" a cpap mask. It does not feel like its in the way as much and I seem to be sleeping better with it. Although my numbers were very good before and there is no change in that with the FX, I just feel like its making a difference. Anyone else have the same switch or use the Swift FX with good results?

Yes, and would NOT go back to the LT. There was a large difference for me and all to the better. I do have an LT that I am going to donate to someone, when I get home in the spring.

hello---I just switched from the Swift LT mask to the Swift FX as well. I really like it much better than the head gear on the LT. I am still keeping my LT though as I did have good numbers using that mask. It will be a back up mask for now. I am thinking of getting the SWIFT FX--FOR HER version now--they say that the back strap is smaller which I need. The headgear that comes with the regular FX is made for the head of the Hulk!!

I had trouble at first withe the sizes of the FX pillows. I have tried XS, Small, Medium and large!! LOL! Finally I think I have settled on the medium for now. It is hard to decide.

Enjoy your good numbers!!!

Carrie

I am so glad I switched and I will keep my LT as a back up as well.....I'll just add it to the nasal gel mask I first tried when I was newly diagnosed. Talk about feeling a bit suffocated with that one. But if I ever need it, its there. I could live with it temporariy.
