When someone is diagnosed with an illness, the attending doctor prescribs a form of treatment and monitors your progress. It seems when diagnosed with OSA you are handed off to a (for the lack of a better word) salesman whos only intrest is to make money. I have rarely in my short time on this forum...

With all due respect !! Happy birthday Rooster, Have a special day.

Thank you for answering my post. I am so frustrated with this whole OSA because I really don't think I have it. This is not a case of self denial. I have had 3 sleep studies in the last 4 years. The first one was in Sept 05 and the Dr said The results were negitive. I was very happy to here that, al...

Thanks RG This is so frustrating, Because I have had 3 sleep studies in the last 4 years. Two in the last 6 weeks. The first one 4 years ago the Dr. said the test was negative. The next test different Dr. and hospital. In Oct 08. The RT said I had a good nights sleep with good deep sleep, therefore ...

Hi All ! Switched over from a Opus 360 nasal pillow mask to a Mirage Quattro FFM for a full week now. I have not slept well at all. I do not know whats going on. I believe there is leaks starting about 3 AM, and I can't seem to stop the leaks. Last night I went back to the Opus Nasal pillow and no l...

Hello All ! Well I received my Quattro ffm yesterday and slept last night with it. Everything was going fine until about 3AM when it started to leak on the lower left side just above the jaw. Kept adjusting with movment of the mask, and finally adjusted the lower strap. Seemed to have worked. I real...

Thanks Babbette! I was reading another post when I saw one gentleman say that he received a new mask and before he used it he did something to his machine I guess he reprogramed it. I looked in the M series instruction book but there was nothing on this subject. So I guess I will just do as you say ...

Hi all !

Just received my new ffm today, can't wait to try it out. Wondering, if I need to change any settings on the machine when going from a nasal only to a ffm.


Thanks

Thanks Rooster for responding, Yes I am using the nasal mask and machine. I am waiting for a ff mask to be del. this wednesday. This is a very differcult disorder to get a handle on, but thanks to this forum you really don't feel alone, there is always someone willing to help out on here. If this ma...

Thanks Rooster, No I do not have pain, just having a hard time going to sleep. Like I said I never had any problem prior to using the machine. The real problem lies I think with my Dr. When I had my sleep study the Dr called for a split study. After sleeping the whole night with no machine, the tech...

I look foward to reading all these posts with the hope of reading one which has similar symptoms as mine, so that I don't think I going nuts. And ...
