I some times sleep on my stomac I use a umff mask and just turn my head to the left and hang my mask off the edge of the pillow, it works fine for me

Darn I forgot the hose and distilled water later

Going on vacation at 2:30 today won't be back till the 23rd I'm not taking my computer or my cell phone just my cpap machine and mask(MY TWO NEW BEST FRIENDS) topher out !!!

I'm at 17cm and use a umff some nights I have trouble and have to go really tight some nights not so tight sort of weird, I have also made my own chin strap that attaches to the top strap of the headgear because when my mouth opens while sleeping I would get a leak at the bottom of the mask on my chin

When I started cpap in late feb I was 346 and had no energy after about 1 month I had a tone of energy so I started walking at lunchtime(NO MORE NAPS IN THE CAR WITH THE AIR ON) I started to feel and look better so I cut down the portion size and changed to water and fruit from candy soda,ice cream ...

I don't know who you have for ins. but mine covers 90% of new mask's every 3 months I just got the bill yesterday

Here Here!!! we can always count on a good laugh and great knowledge from you babbs

I like to change my distilled water everyday because I keep it in the refigerator I like the cool air I get when falling asleep

jen I use a umff so I don't think I'm mouth leaking I also use a homemade chin strap because as my mouth would drop open I use to leak around my chin it's definitely post nasal drip because it goes away for a minute if I cough or snort, yuck.

woke up today with a scratchy throat and post nasal drip, any suggestions, dreading going to sleep tonight!
