Just wanted to come back and say the strap pads from PadACheek.com work perfectly. 2 days now with no marks at all!

Thanks
Chris

I'm using a F20 mask right now. Yes I need a full one as my mouth keeps opening up once I fall a sleep.

I ordered some pads from Pad A Cheek.

Yeah I didn't even mention all the ingrown hairs I need to dig out from the straps.

Thank you for the suggestions!

I've been using cpap for a while now (4-5 years). And still every time I wake up I have deep marks from the mask straps running down each cheek and around the back of my neck. Sometimes up to 8 hours after I wake up I can still see these lines on my face. My eyes feel and look very puffy from the ma...

I noticed a big difference and now I only drink caffeine when I first wake up. Before CPAP I never had a problem.

Thanks I'll have to look that up and buy. Might give it a month or two to see how they are received.

When they are readily available... where can I buy one without a prescription?

Currently using an F10 (from ebay) and would like to try a F20.

Thanks
Chris

Back to 1.8!

Thanks. I'll reboot it now.

Pretty sure I had the flu about 2 weeks ago that is all cleared up now. Right before getting sick I was getting bad red marks on my face so I cut out a mask liner from an old t-shirt. When I got sick there was about 3 nights I didn't use the CPAP (I was coughing all night). Now I'm back on it using ...

It probably took me 1-1/2 years to be able to use mine regularly. I was only able to wear it for about 2 hours and would wake up ripping it off. Longest was 4 hours. I gave up for months at a time. Somehow out of the blue I tried it again and was able to sleep all night with it on. I still wake up a...

I have a slight overbite and no matter what I do I open my mouth at night. If I use the full mask I wake in the middle of the night with a dry mouth. If I use a chinstrap and pillows my mouth stays shut, but not my lips and air leaks out also waking me up. I don't even care about the leak or dry mou...

No DME for me, all Craig's list and E-bay.

Thanks guys. I had no idea the water tub was heated. Doh! And with the humidity level set to 2 I slept all night without waking up or hearing noise. The hose did have condensation when I woke up, but nothing woke me.

I'm using a Resmed S9 autoset with the H5i humidifier. Also using a NON heated slimline hose. Recently I got a coupler and another hose to double the length. This let me move in my bed better, but I also for the first time got the gurgling sound(from rainout?) that woke me up. I didn't get wet, but ...

Also wondering if a pulse oximeter monitor would tell me if I truly have CA?
