New mask: Please check my OSCAR from last night.

Hi all, I was using a pillow mask before and had to stop therapy due to high leak rate on OSCAR because of air escaping through the mouth. I now have a FFM, BMC F1A and so started using xPAP again (last night was the first). Can you please check my OSCAR and let me know if I need to make any changes...

Meanwhile, since you have the machine, I suggest you try to use it and aggressively monitor your therapy with Oscar. That's what I want to do, to use i...

Where are you located?

Hi Pugsy,

Wait, what? I didn't know this. Isn't PAP, or more specifically APAP used for treatment for people with UARS? I am located in London, England.

Not sure if it was a bad decision but I made it anyway

Hi all, So this might be a bit different to some of the post other users has posted and I might get some sticks for it. Bascially for as long as I could remember I have always had poor quality of sleep and I am a semi loud snorer. I suffer from non-allergic rhinitis and am on long term corticosteroi...
