Kept the Swift on all night!

Post by mothra7 » Fri Jun 09, 2006 6:44 am

I'm happy this morning because for the first time, I was able to keep the Swift on all night. Thanks to lots of good advice from this forum, I've learned about taping my mouth (DME had never heard of that!), preventing rainout, adjusting straps. It's great to have a source of information from those in the know.

That's great! It seems to keep getting better and better. I'm looking forward to tonight, because I can sleep in late. I have been sleeping very well for about 3 weeks now. Furthermore, I agrre with you, its this forum that has made it possible...

Last night I had zero problems with my Swift Mirage. In the last two weeks there might've been a day or two that I didn't have cartilidge pain from the nasal "prongs" or pillows. And ofcourse, as soon as I set up an appointment with the DME for next Wednesday I go through the night with zero problems last night.

Well, tonight will be the real test. I'm going out of town over night. I get to test out the system's ability to travel and work on the fly. Wish me luck. Maybe I'm starting to become adjusted to these Swift Mirage Nasal Pillows. Imagine that!

Who else can we talk to that trully understands the physical, mentally and frustration we all go through from time to time.. (by the way does anyone have trouble with the spellcheck. I usually have to correct the corrections..)

HELP! Honestly I did not notice the "agrre" until I reread it. Thats how observant I am. You know that is the first thing I noticed with the OSA. I usually could spell real well-just by visualizing it.I knew it just did not look right, but I started getting simple words mixed up..Thank goodness it is much better now. "Forgive"
