Chiming in re the sore nose bridge and zit problem. The FP 431 on the second night I used it was so bad it tore the skin off my nose bridge! Exactly the problem I had plus the underlying cartilidge in my nose felt bruised. It took a couple of days to feel normal again. I have a Hybrid that someone ...

If your insurance will cover in full if you order from Apria rather than SleepQuest, the heck with their reputation. I think they suck too but I had to get my equip from them to have it covered - but I STILL got what *I* wanted - just had to raise a holy stink about it. I did go to a different DME f...

What are they afraid of, someone hooking one of their masks to a vacuum cleaner?? Goose, don't look so shocked - my stupid ex-husband put a vacuum hose to his ear to get the ear wax out!!!!!! Too bad his brains didn't go with the ear wax. Oh wait -- they did So THAT's why after 14 years he decided ...

Cindy, while I haven't tried them, many people here swear by PadACheeks. She's one of our forum members and will even make custom pads for people. I really need to get some for myself - got my own fat face and my deep "smile" creases are where my masks tend to leak Sounds like the straps are really ...

Now I have my eye on a Kingsdown adjustable bed, OMG...I'm in love with that thing! I'd have to sell one of the kids to pay for it, though. O well.... Hmmm ... sell the kids - not a bad idea Just kidding though. I had a really rough night Tuesday after they left for San Francisco. Went through an i...

Yep - the forcast for the next 3 days is more and more thunderstorms Thankfully the retention pond backing up to my patio is quite deep. It would probably take a month of severe thunderstorms to start lapping at my back door. But earlier this summer I was complaining about how nasty the thing looked...

Hmmm, I wonder if that's why I wake up in the middle of the night sweating? I have a memory foam mattress topper on my sleep number bed. Love the bed and have been thinking for a while of getting a thicker memory foam topper (the one I have is only 1"). But like Sharon, I also tend to wake up with a...

You can have my rain!!!!! As I write it's thundering and lightening big time!!! We've had so much rain and flash floods in the area in the last week or so. Doesn't help the heat index either. At least it's not 100+ - only in the upper 80's but man - to open that door! Takes the breath away Many of m...

Yep, had the same problem with the nose bridge with my UMFF. Also with the FP431. That and zits On my second day of FFM use I had the skin torn off my nose! Granted it was probably due to my straps being too tight, but that was trying to keep the mask from leaking. Had the same compliance problems w...

Xian, My sleep center did loan me a Hybrid for 2 weeks. They will loan any of their masks for trial (unfortunately didn't have a Liberty). The RT said if I liked it I'd be the first one in his knowledge that did since most complained of the pillows popping out. But, with proper fitting and fiddling ...

Chiming in re the sore nose bridge and zit problem. The FP 431 on the second night I used it was so bad it tore the skin off my nose bridge! And no matter how well I clean my face and mask I would always break out with little zits. Sometimes they would be so aggravating that they'd hurt all night lo...
