I slept with a CPAP for a year, then temporarily lost weight and (like you) found I no longer needed it.

Unhappily I gained the weight back, but can't bring myself to use it again.

I considered trying the nasal pillows, but couldn't find any itty bitty pillow cases for them.

Carolyn, I'd never heard of a TAP -- looks interesting.

Geez, Pegleg, now I gotta worry about "misfolded proteins." Aaaargh!

The chin strap hasn't helped me keep my mouth shut when I really need to, but that's another story. It does help maintain positive air pressure through the desired pathway, and that's a good thing.
