It is pure Limburger, I have had both of the lower swivels break away, and the forehead support. I have 2,000 hours on the mask. It's starting to get heavy. I've added 1.5 oz of Epoxy and 5 glus sticks to it. the Glus sticks are for the nose piece. And yes it's a little bent and at the wrong angle,...

ComfortFull 2 Mask Issue
A couple of times during the past week or so, I've managed to separate the adjustable forehead arm from the mask in my sleep. It isn't a big deal to put it back together, but it's a pain to have to mess with it in the middle of the night. Yesterday I put a short strip of 1/2 inch nylon packing tape ...

Re: newbie
I also have a question for all those great people out there in this forum- Do you still use the machine when you take a nap? Hopefully, I won't need many more naps, but I was wondering if anybody uses it for those occasions. Thanks, Steve Steve, my doctor told me that he wanted me to use the machin...

Re: Confused About Last Night's Sleep Study
Also, they told me if I had sleep apnea that they would come in and put a mask on me. Since I woke up and did not have a mask on me, does that mean I more than likely do not have it? Or did they mot have enough data to go on during the first part of the night? I'm confused and starting to think tha...

Yeah, all of that sounds very familiar. At least the attendant I had for the first visit was a youngster who had only been doing it for about a month and was still enthusiastic about her work. The second trip I had Nurse Nightmare who acted like I was screwing up her life by just being there. Her so...

Teej, I've been at this for a little over a week now. At the 7-day point, I was just about ready to toss the whole thing and take my chances. I was averaging about 3 or 4 hours sleep each night. During two of those nights I removed the mask sometime during the night, thereby setting off the alarm an...

I know this isn't really a weight-loss forum, but it seems to me that there's a sort of infinite loop when it comes to apnea and weight gain. The literature I've read says that losing weight can help reduce the frequency of apnea events. However, I've also read that one symptom of apnea is weight ga...

Just to follow up on my earlier post here: I wrote that post on Friday (yesterday) morning, one week to the day since I first started using the gadgetry. I was really frustrated at that point, convinced that I'd never be able to adapt to it and concerned that I might have to spend more cash to try a...

I'm sort of in the same boat, only in reverse. I've been on the Remstar Pro for one week, but with the ComfortFull full-face mask. The first two nights were miserable -- about three hours sleep each night -- mostly because of constant leakage around the mask. The best night I've had so far was last ...
