The bummer part is I needed one more month on my old insurance and they were going to purchase it for me.

Re: Help with numbers
I can sleep with the full face, its just it would leak around the goatee. I didnt want to shave it off so I tried other masks, hoping the nasal pillow would work.

Re: Help with numbers
yes I did switch the mask setting on the machine. I never looked at the leak rate before, didnt know how, but the reason for switching was because of leaking around the nose and that would wake me up a lot. The air would blow into my eyes and wake me up. I had a bit of dry mouth this am , my wife i...

I am very optimistic about this, just want sleep I go back to the sleep center on the 20th and they will rev...
