Re: first night on vpap auto
This is pretty impressive considering where it started. Well done sticking to it to find a workable solution. That's some pretty impressive pressure!

Re: first night on vpap auto
I really need to get the leaks fixed. There not bad for volume but there leaking into my eyes and it keeps waking me. I can't count how many times I got up from air blowing into my eyes

Re: first night on vpap auto
Might be worth trying a nasal pillows mask if you think you can control the mouth breathing. Otherwise, I got nothing...I've never used FFM. Anyway, buy something like the Airfit P10 from CPAP.com with the return guarantee. You might be surprised.

Re: first night on vpap auto
I've tried then I can't stop air blowing out of my mouth. I get too congested to tape my mouth shut. I'm going to the medium size I know it will seal around my nose there are a few issues with the med that I'll have to work around.

Re: first night on vpap auto
I thought I'd share my experience. I use the P10 and my pressure run between 21 and 25. I had to do some changes to keep my mouth shut but have finally figured it out. I couldn't keep a FFM on my face as it kept waking me up all night with air blowing into my eyes or farting sounds. So I tried a DME chin strap and hated it. I went to the store Winco and found a lady's head band that is narrow on one end and wide on the other end. I use the wide end under my chin. It works perfect. The material is soft against the skin and has some give to it so if you had to take a breath you could but enough pressure that it keeps my mouth shut. And I've found it in colors other than pink. I've got my pressure down to zero a few times but it now runs below one.

Re: first night on vpap auto
The only way I can use pillows would be to tape. I've used the straps and they do hold my mouth shut but the air still gets through. I'll keep at it and figure something out. The medium ffm are too small. My lips touch the mask and the seal runs over the edges of my mouth. That I can fix with scissors.
If I can get the congestion problem fixed I may try to tape
