Re: Mouth breather seeks advice/opinions...

As an Oracle use, I find the "drool" factor greatly exaggerated.,. Just make a point to clean it every morning along with your teeth, takes probably a minute.. Once you get used to it, you will be amazed at never having to adjust the FFM crap again.. Problem is your DME wont let you swap it, since i...

Re: dont have insurance

I was in the same boat, what I did was call my local sleep clinic, as to speak with someone in the billing dept. Ask if they ever do any work on a charity basis. Thats what I did and I got the whole thing, study, equip (granted not the best) and follow ups, the ability to swap masks, etc soup to nut...

The next mask I tried was the Forma mask and because it lea...

However I am having a heck of a time with this mask, I'm a larger guy, and the constant adjustment and readjustment, raising and lowering...
