I am sorry to hear that life has been so difficult. Especially on your loss of a loved one.
I am glad that your therapy is going well.
I hope things have settled out for you in your life as best as can be expected.

Life sure can take you for a ride now and then.

Sounds like you are making progress in the right direction. By doing it the way you are he will slowly come to terms with the fact. When he gets the testing he can no longer deny the results. I know for me you just dont want to add one more thing to your list of ailments and or things you have to do...

It certainly sounds possible that you have sleep apnea. I went to the doctors because my snoring was so bad my wife and I were no longer sleeping in the same room for close to 2 months. I went to the docs having no idea I may have apnea. The doc listened to my symptoms and referred me right then and...

Recently I went from the ultra mirage nasal mask to a quattro full face. I am on my second week or so of using it. I struggled right out of the gate with a sore nose bridge and some leaks. Thanks to many tips and suggestions I have been able to get that resolved for the most part. I have been using ...

With the Q I had air in my eyes and each morning my face was a mess. I changed the mask. I bought the CPAP-Multi-Mask-Sleep-Aid-Pillow from the DME, but I prefer my own pillows: in fact I am sleeping on buckwheat pillows for more than 20 years and I will not change that as I can give them the form ...

I wonder if that strap would do the trick for me? May have to try a few experiments with that in mind.

Hmm the pillows are pricey so I have not invested in one yet. Was wondering of you had. More importantly if it helped to eliminate leaks?

There are instructions on here how to make your own heated hose using a reptile heater. when my aussie dies i plan on giving that a go. Much cheaper and involves just a few readily available pieces of equipment to get it going. Will have to see if i can find that link if it has not been posted all r...

Welcome aboard. The folks here have been a godsend for me. I am 7 months or so into cpap therapy and the fantastic folks here have helped me to prepare for cpap therapy before I got my gear. Walked me through the assimiliation process as it unfolded and helped solved many an issue I have had to date...

I have the same mask and, not sure if you have tried it or not, but sometimes shifting the whole mask up or down on my face will help. Even a placement that worked before might leak a little when tried again. I have sometimes had it placed seemingly much higher than need be or much lower. I find al...

2 weeks ago I went to the dme and was fitted for a quattro full face. I was using the mirage activa. I have mouth breathing issues so I have been trying to get this quattro to work for me. If i can not get a handle on this down the road I may have to try the hybrids next. I have been struggling to g...

Tried that comfort pad and i think i got it to work this time pretty well. Since I got the ffm i am feeling like I am going through the sleep debt period again. Not sure if i have been just tired lately or it really is happening. Good thing i have this mask. My nose was entirely plugged when i woke ...

sorry the comfort pad didn't work out for you -- maybe it works better for me because i have a flat spot between my eyes (almost like some asians do) where I notice by your pic that your nose bridge continues up between your eyes (you and my cousin Russell have the same nose!) (this nose bridge thi...

I received my pad-a-cheek mask liner for my quattro yesterday and tried it out last night. Attaching it to the mask was a breeze, i didn't even read the instructions. I could not believe how comfortable both the head cushion and the actual liner material were. Last night was a completely different ...

Glad you are home safe and sound and feeling better
