I think you mean a cervical collar...
Veni, vidi, Velcro. I came, I saw, I stuck around.

Dx 11/07: AHI 107, central apnea, Cheyne Stokes respiration, moderate-severe O2 desats. (Simple OSA would be too easy. ;))

PR S1 ASV 950, DreamWear mask, F&P 150 humidifier, O2 @ 2L.

jaciep! wanted to come back in and say thanks for the tip about raising the humidity. i just got my humidifier yesterday and slept with it last night. it did make a difference. using my chin strap, cervical collar and the humidity, i was able to keep the mask on all night!

thanks again!
