I appreciate it. It just goes to show that if you really want good therapy you MUST take action yourself instead of relying totally on your Doctor and the (D)iscourteous (M)indless (E)nabler's . Some people claim their dme is good but I speak from experience with Georgia Medical they absolutely suck...

Got the new mask and look at the leak rates now. They went waaaaaaay down!! I have to say along with a lot of other people RESPORONICS MAKES THE CRACKER JACKS MASK. http://images41.fotki.com/v1244/photos/9/994209/6487027/72908cpapreport-vi.jpg http://images105.fotki.com/v447/photos/9/994209/6487027/...

Man Deer I think little Johnny just learned how to cuss. What you say? Think he has earned the golden dildo award?

The reason this site exists is exactly because advice from a sleep professional (M.D., D.O., NP, PA, RPSGT) haHAS been foolish and failed us. This is exactly the hard-headed attitude that has let people like you here to begin with. Now, you'll get advice from people who THINK they know what they're...

I use to wake up at 2pm on weekends and feel like I couldn't move because i was so tired. Now I wake up at 7 or 8am everyday including weekends and feel energized. People would talk about their dreams and I would tell them I haven't dreamed in years. They would state that I dream but probably don't...

Yes, all your other numbers are meaningless with that leak profile. STEP 1 - take care of leaks first, anything else you do will only send back to square 1, do not pass go, go directly to apnea, blaa blaa blaa. Alright Dream help me out here bud. Like I mentioned I'm waiting on the DME to call me a...

Try posting your full details report ... like the one on this thread - http://www.cpaptalk.com/viewtopic/t33320/Help-wdata.html here is my train wreck... I don't know what to do really. Getting a Ultra Mirage FFM sometime this week from dme hopefully that will help...... I'm open for any an all sug...

I had the same problem; I solved it by taping my mouth. So you tape even with a full face mask? Some last night on chat told me to make a gasket out of an old t-shirt. I did that for it seems logical given that gaskets are for that purpose. Anyway I think I need to make it bigger cause the problem ...

Yeah would you like your mask original or extra crispy

Tony, do you feel rested when you get up ? discounting your leak rate those 8 sec. apneas are insignificant ....looks like your right on target !! BTW you resemble my youngest son in that avatar Yeah, I feel good when I get up. Normal time of getting up is from 6am to 8am. My body simply says to me...

Mask is still slipping into my mouth at night but it appears the either the software isn't detecting it or its still holding a seal one. The leak rate looks a lot better and my ahi is at .7 which is good. http://images41.fotki.com/v1246/photos/9/994209/6487027/TonyEStegallSaturdayJuly192008-vi.gif _...

[quote="deerslayer"]the mask is definitely the hardest part of the therapy. ... Finding one thats tolerable w /minimal leaks. hopefully your dme can get you fitted correctly . how's the analyzer working ?

[quote="OutaSync"]I use an Activa, and like you, I wake up trying to eat it. It hangs down over my mouth and I dream that there is food in front of me and I wake up trying to get the mask into my mouth. So far, no harm done.

Alright, I have tried everything I know of. Also, I realize the ComfortGel Full is a piece of crap; however, until I get my new Ultra Mirage FF on Weds I do not have much of a choice. Anyway, does anyone besides me have the issue with the mask at night slipping into your mouth and you wake up basica...
