Thank you for replying so fast papdaddy. I saw that answer somewhere else too. I am going to try that tonight. But it seems like because I have such a big head that the straps are pulling out the side connectors that hold the stopper and tube in place. I am thinking that even with the tape that it ...

way back when, when I was semi regular to this board, someone described it as "a love sick octopus"

Humm - sounds like a little bit of neoprene stuck in the same spot might work too (don't have a swift - yet - waiting for Big Brown Truck) - like a mousepad, with the rubber side towards your head - a little hot glue.... For that matter - a couple of dabs of hot glue - and ket it dry - OR how about ...

Oh - the GOOD news is I'm not on a rental - I own the box, so compliance isn't a problem - just stuff for when I visit the MD - I'm feeling really good, but decided to try a new mask (not that I really dislike what I have - just see if there is something BETTER - hey, I needed some filters, so I bou...

Compliance?

I've noticed something "interesting" - I have a Remstar Plus, and it measures compliance in "sessions > 4 hrs" - which I don't have many - but for an odd reason Most nights, I sleep a BIT less than 8 hrs - usually around 6.5-7.5 hrs - the BIG thing is that I consistantly get up 1/2 way through to us...

2nd night

Went about like the first, but got to bed earlier - got about 5.5 hours on the machine, and a small amount off (30 minute "nap")

Do NOT feel as dramatically rested this AM as I did yesterday.

Oh well, tonight is another night

So far, the most amazing thing about today is - no post lunch crash, where I have to FIGHT to stay awake - I just AM - it's wild. I have not felt like this in oh, 8-10 YEARS

First Night

What happens now is that they are faxed your information and drop ship you the cheapest mask and machine they can find. Seems they have already shipped the machine - but are letting me change my mask (which will be 1-2 days later) Don't know which machine, but I asked for, and got an Activa mask, a...

Waiting

Well, I've talked to my MD - the prescription has been issued for a pressure of 10 - that is about all I know except that now I'm waiting on Gentiva (sp?) and Cigna. Anyone know what happens now? Do they ask me about masks? (No one has contacted me)
