Thank you, Advans, but there is no way in h*ll a chin strap can in any way control the lip flutters. I "was" pleased to learn just the other day that the Quattro full face comes in an XSmall. My supplier didn't even know that. I've asked for one when I'm due in November for a new mask. No problem S...

Stop messing around and go see your doctor!! cause you have no idea what you are doing and well Auto anything just don't work for anyone period. They are making those Autos by the millions to be only used as door stops (especially the one you got) - Never did I say the pt had no idea what they were...

[quote="Slinky"] They didn't even ask for any of my data when I went in for my 3 month follow up after starting bi-level but I brought a printout anyway. - They focus on the raw detailed data coming from the sleep study. They will not consider yours as more valid than theirs. Ask them why if you wis...

That's great you want to learn and try out new things. WOW...thanks for the vote of confidence. Maybe you could send me a AdvansCPAP gold star to put on the refrigerator door. Did I insult you or something? Your sarcasm isn't appreciated since I was simply trying to help you understand why you're h...

Hello, From what I read, I understand you were using a nasal pillow mask and doing well. Then switched to a full-face mask and use a chinstrap at the same time and get poor quality of sleep? If I'm correct, the first thing is to not use a chinstrap with a full face mask because it defeats the whole...

[quote="DreamStalker"][quote="AdvansCPAP.com"]Hello, In the lab setting, the majority of people who sleep on their stomach will experience some mask leakage no matter what. Their face will be jambed sideways into the pillow which presses the masks out of place. Instant leak. Your pressure of 14.0 is...

Hello, A good Dr. will have you retitrated a full night in the lab if you still complain of poor sleep despite correcting your mouth leaks. They need to see how you are using your mask. If it's leaking during the night, if your pressure is too high or too low that causes spontaneous arousals or more...

Hello, I can see what you're trying to do and couldn't say much about it since it would be just guessing. But I do have this to say. Honestly, I do not know any knowledgeable accredited sleep Dr. who will use Auto BIPAPs with Data logging to try and correct your sleep apnea. It's just a shot in the ...

Hello, In the lab setting, the majority of people who sleep on their stomach will experience some mask leakage no matter what. Their face will be jambed sidways into the pillow which presses the masks out of place. Instant leak. Your pressure of 14.0 isn't going to help either. We always tell them t...

Hello, F&P machines in our experience usually push out more pressure 0.5 to 1.0 cmH20 more pressure than what their dispays says. ResMed Elites are always accurate in the pressure levels. That's why you feel like you are getting less air from the ResMed. The altitude setting on the F&P machine could...
