Thanks for posting about the ResMed Swift FX, I use a Mirage Activa, and kind of want to change so I don't have to shave my upper lip everyday. I might try the Swift FX out shortly, my current mask needs replacing.

I will also add for the other poster(s), properly treating sleep apnea is huge for overall health, and helps you feel a lot better everyday. Risk of stroke goes down and a lot of other big health impacts.

oh, dude. Swift FX all the way. I have a friend whose doctor didn't recommend it (probably recommended one like yours) and I practically forced him to push back on his doc and prescribe this one. It's quite a bit of comfort difference.

I'm actually trying to lose a bunch of weight so that I (hopefully) don't have to use a machine at all (although I have a very strong suspicion that I still had this issue back when I was very skinny, I was always a snorer and always had to take mid-afternoon naps) but mostly because I might want to get one of the operations, but they won't do one until I'm back at a "fit" weight.
