What the doctor writes, they have to provide. In my case, I had two reasons for needing an auto. First, my weight is changing as I am on Weight Watchers. Second, I sleep alone so have no way of knowing if the treatment is effective unless the machine can monitor the results. No problems getting the ...

Of the resmed masks, the UMFF is my favorite. I couldn't get the Quattro to stop leaking. That said, the comfortfull II is the best I have tried. Next on my list is the Mojo since it can be slightly adjusted to the individual face. One thing to caution you about, they will say to measure with your m...

Way to go! Some of the companies have poor attitudes and sometimes it is only the RT who is a problem. One therapist at my DME is so rude I refuse to deal with her. Yet I don't want to change suppliers as the others are great. I just call back if she happens to have phone duty when I make the first ...

So Wulfman is right
I have seen posts saying a properly fitted mask should not cause soreness on the bridge of the nose. Since I and the RT folllowed the instructions to measure with the mouth closed, I just assumed what he said was true for some but not for me. Duh. I have nasal obstructions causing me to mouth breath...

My mask is moving my teeth
The pressure of my mask against my cheek is pushing a tooth forward(toward the front of my mouth) and all the others are moving forward also. Now one tooth has moved under a front tooth and is pushing it out of alignment with the gum. I will consult a dentist about it. I suppose a dental appliance c...

Re the dry room, a few years ago I was having nose bleeds due to the Sahara conditions in my home. My doctor recommended I use a vaporizer rather than a humidifier. Since the moisture comes out as steam, there are no mold/mildew problems, no fussy cleaning and no white deposits on the furniture. I n...

ethics?
I'm not sure what to do. I bought a mask on an auction which shall be nameless. It was advertised as never used and in original packaging. When it arrived, it was not in the box and the plastic bag doesn't look like original packaging to me. It looks like someone used a sealing machine like the ones...

The mask you are using is my mask of preference. However, my face measures just between the small and medium size masks. When I use the medium, I get the leaking problem. When I use the small, I get a sore nose. I tend to use the small and use PADACHEEK's newest invention to keep the nose from being...

I have been using this guard for almost two weeks now and am favorably impressed. My UMFF and bifocals combined to cause soreness and even an open pressure sore on my nose. Using a cut down bandage over the nose helped this but was a bedtime hassle. This new guard is easy to install and no problem t...
