I would give them to you.  Let me see where the are.  I have so much CPAP stuff it's a mess!  Will get back to you later today.  Last night the usual pillows leaked.  I am so sick of this.

I just got over a sinus infection that I apparently had for quite some time (all pre-CPAP).  

I like the pillows.  When I put them on at bedtime it was working just fine.  But during the night it apparently moves (especially the strap on the back and they loosen up.  I am going to try the small pillows tonight instead of the EX small.  Every night is trial and error.  

 

Are you taking an aspirin a day?  Just wondered since you stopped the coumadin.

I found the medium pillow, unused in the zip lock bag.  They are yours.  Just let me know where to send them.  Is there a way yu can send me a private message from here?

I just accepted/    I just don't know about the cap thing.  I may have to give in, though.  Why can't the companies (that charge SO much for little pieces of plastic) come up with something better?

 

I also have a G lIfe headgear (for men) with unused size medium and small pillows I am willing to give way if you have not tried this one.

It did not cost me anything.  So please accept it.  I don't need it, that's for sure!

That's a good idea.  I just feel if we can ALL help each other.  Since there is so litle support from the medical community (or so it seems to me)

Old news that the Huskies won; will see what they do tonight.  New news is that I had some improvement by changing the size of my pillows from X-small to small.  Seemed to work better. Turned my data card in to the DME company Thursday.  Wish someone would call me and let me know what all it said!

Hi Ginny,

 Unless you requested a copy of your data it just gets sent to your doctor. If you get a manual for your machine( if it is data capable) you can see your daily numbers to catch problems sooner than months after the fact. Leakage , AHI , AI, the lower the better .   Good Sleep,Chris

Have heard nothing from the doctor yet. Card went to DME Thursday AM and they were to fax the results to the doctor. First time to have turned the card in.  Been on CPAP about 2 weeks.  My machine shows no leakage & my AHI is 2.9 right now. No periodic breathing.  But I don't think that leakage is accurate.  Must have to be a major leak to show.  Let me ask a silly question~isn't there always going to be "some" leakage.  I mean it can never work perfectly, can it?
