I have been using the machine since l994. My first machine was very noisy but the new one I got last year is so quiet even my husband sometimes asks if it is on. Just keep on keeping on and it will soon become just second nature. I do not think I could sleep without it now. An added feature is that i no longer fall asleep at stop signs.

You can read more about this mask here: http://www.resmed.com/int/products/s...ml?nc=patients Hope this helps, 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. |

For anyone wanting the info of the item I was talking about under the mask to keep you skin on your nose from breaking down it's called a Gecko. At our local store it is $15. The ones online are $24.95 http://www.respshop.com/advanced_sea...keywords=gecko Hope this helps anyone looking for this item.

My husband also uses a chin strap to keep his mouth closed because he was losing air this way. Had leaks etc. The strap was $11 at our local store and has really helped. He looks like a wrestler with it on. LOL!

I have one and the sleep that I get from it is so much better. It took me a week to get used to it and now don't sleep with out it.

It takes some getting used to but it is well worth it. I have a little wooden bench I set beside the bed to set the machine on as it is suppose to be lower than the bed. Just keep trying and experimenting and you will get use to it. I could not believe the energy I had after using mine for awhile.
