Trinity, You said you're in Central Maryland. If you are anywhere near Frederick contact BP Gamma at 800-624-4134 and ask for Angie. Tell her Bruce sent you Seriously, I was friends with her before I ever heard of CPAP. When I first started on it she was with a company that wasn't very good but sh'e...

I've been using the same Quattro mask for about a year now. I replace the cushion about every one to three months. That's about when I start to notice some leaking problems. I have noticed lately that the straps seem to be getting a little streched out so I'll either replace them or just get a whole...

Hi Jen!!! I haven't been around regularly for a while myself. I didn't know you were pregnant. Congratulations! I'm glad to hear you're doing well. Good luck with the house thing. After talking over a year to sell our house in Florida we finally bought one here in Maryland last August. I know what y...

Thanks for all the responses folks. I appreciate the help. Last night I went back to my Breeze and mouth tape in order to give my nose a rest. I think I'll have to do that for several days. It was easier to go back than I thought it would be. Actually slept pretty well. I'll have to revisit the adju...

I was using the Breeze with tape to stop my mouth leak but wanted to get off the tape. My six months were up in November so my insurance would pay for another mask and I decided to try a full face. I had tried a few full faces for fit before that and souldn't find one that either didn't KILL my nose...

The bridge of my nose is for some reason sensitive to full face masks. I've actually slept in four and tried a few more on and I can't get a seal without leaving a red mark. The first one I tried, the F&P 431, went WAY beyond red and made me feel like I had been punched by a heavyweight after one ni...

I switched from using pillows (Breeze) to a full face because I was mouth leaking and got tired of taping. I tried several masks by watching the boards and trading back and forth with folks around here. I tried the 431 and it did seem to fit well without leaks but it absolutely KILLED the bridge of ...

Hi Sundown,

That was an issue I was a little concerned about when I first started this therapy (if you want to know why, just read my signature line ). Maintaining a good attitude and a good sense of humor about the whole thing helps tremendously.

Okay. I guess that wasn't the problem. I saved, cleared and started again. It's now doing the same thing. There are only four nights worth of data but it's not showing up anywhere. I get the blue download progress bar. Sometimes I get a message that says there's a problem and to "switch" "retry" or ...

AHHH HAAAAA!

Thank you Ozij! Thank you, thank you, thank you.

I hear ya Ted. It was like that with the tape. Everything's going great and all of a sudden something that was working really well doesn't anymore. It makes no sense and complicates the treatment. It seems neverending. I had the nose bridge problem with the F&P 431. It was the best fitting full face...

I have a PB Goodknight 420S and Silverlining software. It doesn't do everything but it does give me some data to work with. I've had problems downloading from the start but I've always been able to (eventually) get the data and update the file. Yesterday I got a new mask and wanted to see how I did ...

I've been at this for six months now and it was time for a new mask. I switched DME's because the first one was bought out and stopped taking my insurance (well, that and they sucked). Much better experience. The tech trotted out about six or eight masks without me prompting or asking, she was very ...

I have: F&P 431 with S, M, L cushions ComfortFull 2 Medium Swift I w/ Large pillows All very lightly used and in great condition, non-smoker. I'm very interested in trying: Quattro (medium, I think) Hans Rudolph (I would normally take a medium, but I hear these run big so I suppose I could try a sma...

RG or Blarg, Do you have a recommendation for a particular chinstrap? I use a Breeze and tape. I do really well with the Breeze but sometimes I puff and leak through or around the tape (I think I'm drooling and it comes unstuck sometimes) and it's enough to disturb my sleep. I'd love to get off the ...
