Wow! Headgear no longer riding up

Post by base2balls » Sun Sep 26, 2010 9:47 am

Wow! I saw some thing on here that some one had sewn in a hunk of velcro on thier head gear and I did that last ngiht. I use the Swift FX and had a dilly of a time with the head gear riding up on my head. Well the velcro sure did the trick for me. I had no trouble with getting my hair caught on the hooks at all. I slept so sound last night and I feel great his a.m. Last night was the first time using my machine for a week. I had such a bad cold and had cold sores in my nose that were draining. They finally stopped draining and I'm now able to use my machine. No headache this a.m. and I feel great too. I was going to use my nasal mask, but I get leaks in my eyes from that one so I did not use it while I had the cold. Well the Dr did tel me to use it as much as posable during a cold but if it get to a point where you cold sores in your nose are draining then she said to go for a couple night with out it. I can't go very long wiht out it as I wake up with those nasy headaches and a closed nose. Now I'm back in business. Wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee... Have a great day, Huggies, Fay

Awesome! I knew the FX would slip on my hair the second I first tried it on. I just pull the front 3rds of my hair over the back and that seems to keep it anchored. All of my hair makes a lump under my neck but I have a lot of hair.
