When someone refuses...
What on earth do you do, when you know someone who flat out refuses to see a doctor for apnea? A friend of mines husband has it, and he won't go see a doctor for it. I gave her links, i gave her statistics, he just doesn't seem to think apnea is a severe condition. erm, i just got done telling him, ...

Re: whats going on..
Mama, Standard advice is to wash your face every night before masking up. I did this for two years and then quit one year ago and have had no problems with mask or skin. How tightly are you adjusting the mask? A typical mistake of newbies is to adjust too tightly when they have leaks. This can actu...

Re: Help for a newby friend. Kind of urgent!
One thing I can say, is have your friend strap on his mask, and set his pressure to full throttle, and see if his mask is on properly, that could be one thing, and second make sure he's not draw dropping and causing leaks also... Make sure his mask isn't too small too... hope you can help!

Re: I really want...
This was the mask I wanted, and the DME said they didn't have any, so i ended up with the Mirage Quattro, The ComfortGel is the one that got used on me in my sleep study.
