Re: Too much snoring - help

@Julie: my pressures are 8-18. @Joe: I did try a chin strap. I had more trouble with leaking as the strap came up on my chin above the lower edge of my mask, and if I put it on over the mask it's not going to hold my mouth closed. I do have problem with the theory of a chin strap, pushing my jaw ba...

Re: Too much snoring - help

I've never used a full face mask, so I am not familiar with exactly how it's worn, but ... could a chin strap possibly help? Most (not all) snoring happens when our mouth opens during the night. A strap might help keep the jaw closed and prevent the snoring. Again - just guessing.

Re: WARNING: You must replace your mask and tubing every month

Is this all going to turn out to be like an episode of 'Lost'?

I do dream of polar bears and smoke monsters whenever I wear my mask.

Re: Off Topic Rant

Same sh*t happened to me with a paid off car loan. Yes, I said PAID OFF. To get proof it was paid I had to go through multiple contacts to find the correct company. The financial world is a planet within itself.

Re: Off Topic Rant

We finally did the expedite. My wife overnighted the request AND included an expedite return envelope - postage paid. That should do it. And, yes I will call again. Maybe turn on some Southern charm. The first time I spoke with someone there they had the personality of a shoe box. With the cost of d...

Cats Walking Across my Machine

Off and on I have a problem with one of our cats walking across the top of my machine and pressing the buttons. It has happened when in use at night, but more frequently during the day. We'll hear it kick on and air blasting out of the hose. Luckily, if this happens when we are not at home it will d...
