Re: Can't tolerate FF mask but jaw relaxes when I sleep
I hope I don't sound too negative...does everyone go through this? I was laying on the floor today assembling a piece of furniture and it suddenly struck me how long it's been since I just laid on my side and slept. I felt like Edward Norton in the beginning of Fight Club. I appreciate everyone's su...

Re: Can't tolerate FF mask but jaw relaxes when I sleep
My PapCap came today, I just tried it on. I'm not very optimistic after having done so, but I'll give it a try tonight. Problems the test fit seem to point to are: - the front edge rolls so that the corners of the velcro patches on the cap poke my forehead - my head was noticeably hotter from the 5 ...

Re: Can't tolerate FF mask but jaw relaxes when I sleep
I am going to order a Papcap, just wanted some hope to get me through the couple of days until it gets here.
Frustrating to be so close...I've actually slept properly for an hour or two with the FX, but now this. Hopefully the Papcap will help.

Re: Can't tolerate FF mask but jaw relaxes when I sleep
Right now I sleep in a recliner on my back...I was always a side sleeper but now I get horrible backaches from side sleeping. I think it's my weight. One of the many reasons to get some sleep and lose some weight.
Thanks for the suggestion, though.

Re: 2 Questions
Could anyone give some links to the mouthguards you're using to keep your mouths closed? Not to threadjack, but I'm in the same boat: need to use a pillow mask, but sometimes my mouth opens when I sleep. I've tried a chin strap, have a different one on the way, but so far no luck.

Can't tolerate FF mask but jaw relaxes when I sleep
I was diagnosed with OSA a few months ago, did the sleep study, was given a full face mask. I tried many times but just could not use the mask for a number of reasons: - my skin is very oily even soon after washing - I tend to sweat around the mask seal, which causes itching - I have a Van Dyke-styl...
