Re: What are some of the most comfortable Full Face Masks?
I ended up getting a new mask from my DME, the Quattro FX. This mask is SO much better. Virtually no leaks, its lighter, and way more comfortable. I could actually watch TV with it on. I slept 10 hours straight with it after not sleeping well last few nights. Love it!

What are some of the most comfortable Full Face Masks?
I have been using the Mirage Quattro for about a month and I realized that it is terrible and it will not be something that I can sleep with every night, and I called in my DME to exchange it. The thing is, I have kind of a round face, and the sides of the quattro are kind of narrow and pointy, it l...

Re: DME nightmare(S)
I had a similar experience with Pulmo-Care in southern california. I had the talk with my doctor before she sent in the order for a cpap. She ordered a Resmed S9 for me, even though she seemed unfamiliar with the specific device, I asked her for it and she was totally supportive. I get a call from m...

Re: i cant use the CPAP
I can't tell for sure exactly what it is. Its like I wake up and feel like I can't breathe. Im on 15cm of pressure and 10-12 is pretty comfortable but from 13-15 it is so high that my mouth just parachutes inside the mask if i completely relax it. I dont want to pinch my face alll night long so the ...

i cant use the CPAP
I just can't. I have had the machine for over a month now, I put it on everynight before I go to bed. I end up waking up 2-3 hours later to take the mask off before falling back to sleep. I just can't handle it

Re: Resmed S9 Elite vs. Autoset
It works perfectly for me. I put the mask on and smart start turns on the machine after the first breathe, and just seconds after taking the mask off it turns off. No iffiness thereLizistired wrote:?

Re: Resmed S9 Elite vs. Autoset
If you just started, it might take some time to get used to the feeling of the pressure. I started about 6 weeks ago and it took a week or two for me to fully get used to it. In the mean time, do you have the "ramp" feature set on your machine? If you wake up in the middle of the night feeling like...
