Re: Help Please! Need Feedback from TOTAL Facemask Users

It looks like an oral mask would require some noseplugs (which I seriously doubt he'd "cotton to"). In theory, no. Try this. Act like you're blowing up a balloon, but keep your lips together and just fill your mouth with pressurized air. Notice that you don't have to pinch your nose together, but n...

Re: Help Please! Need Feedback from TOTAL Facemask Users

Have you looked at an oral or a hybrid mask? Yes, I know he has the deviated septum problem but the hybrid would allow him to mouth breathe if the nose doesn't work. The full oral mask bypasses the nose entirely. It's a bit of a bear to get used to, though. Great suggestion; I'll mention these to h...

Re: Help Please! Need Feedback from TOTAL Facemask Users

I have been using the FitLife Total Face Mask for at least a year and love the mask. Don't get the one size fits all mask. I also have problems with the skin on my nose breaking down and can no longer use a mask that rests there. The FitLife is a great mask. Good luck. Thanks, Mary-- Thanks to Sher...

Re: Being used as a reason to not get a sleep study

I am in a bit of a situation right now. One of my friends recently used me the reason why he shouldn't experience the fun and joy of a sleep study when his doctor recommended it. Why me? It's because I had a sleep study and ended up having to wear a mask after it. From what I can tell, he is a bit ...

Re: Help Please! Need Feedback from TOTAL Facemask Users

I've tried $1000+ worth of different masks and I liked the FitLife immediately after trying it on a lark (for free on an overnight). I have sensitive skin, don't like a lot of things on my face, found the nasal ones painful or irritating (and I mouthbreathe) and the full face ones were serviceable ...

Re: Respironics Waveform Reports Have a 1 Hour Delay; Know Why?

We should check and see if it reports compliance hours correctly despite the ramp. That would be a terrible error if it doesn't, but it wouldn't surprise me. Glad you brought that issue up; after reading your post, I checked the waveforms on two different days (one before resetting RAMP and one aft...

Re: Respironics Waveform Reports Have a 1 Hour Delay; Know Why?

Hi, Guys-- We're evaluating our data with Respironics software & hubby is troubled by the fact that every Waveform report begins exactly one hour after he remembers putting the mask on. If he turns the machine on at 10:15, the next day's waveform report starts at 11:15 PM. Wakeup times are the same...
