Re: The right mask for side sleepers
My pressure is at 9 and the leaks are around the mouth or sometimes around the the nose where the leak shoots up into my eye. I just went with the mask I was given by the clinic but I want to try something different.

As you can imagine, my next day is horrible. I'm unable to function at work and I'm in a irratible mood all...
