Before being diagnosed with sleep apnea, I was such a light sleeper, awake at every little sound. Up at least twice to use the RR, sometimes 3 or 4 times. I was gaining weight without increasing my calories.
I have been on a C-PAP since July, lost about 12 pounds without trying, and once I go to sleep, I am OUT for the night!
The first ten days or so were rough getting used to the mask, but tried a couple of different ones and found this Swift FX for Her. It was a match made in heaven! Don't be shy about working with your equipment supplier - they want you to be comfortable.
Do you have any problems with hair breakage from this or any other mask? I have had some hair breakage over the last year, but I don't know for a fact that it is caused by the straps of the mask. Thought it was worth asking the question.

Thanks,
