wrinkles...

As much as we all don't want to have wrinkles...... i believe wrinkles are something earned from laughing, smiling, crying, and living a full life. I hope my wrinkles (when Im older) show the great life I have had.

It says that a good dermatologist can tell which side of your face you sleep on due to wrinkles, etc. I was wondering if a good dermatologist could also tell you which mask you wear.

like it

I really like the quattro too, but I also like the series 2 mirage face mask. I think the Quattro's head gear is a little less cumbersome and slightly more comofrtable. I already pulled out the teflon tape after 1 month of use. I would love to see #'s on the dial too, as mentioned before. It's a goo...

tried again

So I really do like the pur sleep. It seems kinda of related, but not to have the hard to breath thing going on. If I start the smell earlier, like 30 minutes before bed and keep it farther away, I do better. I don't get that hard to breathe feeling or lost my breath feeling. I really like that I ca...

It was like it took too much effort to exhale (with cflex on) and felt pressure in my chest. In had to ramp twice to get to sleep, with lots of popping my mask off cause I had...
