I am about to go on my first cruise. The cruise will be on Carnival. I have been advised that there is only 1 electrical outlet in the room which is near the desk/vanity.

Re: Mouth Breathing

Thanks Zoocrewphoto. I tried repositioning it lower. It worked briefly but then started leaking in my eyes. I have been considering trying Quattro Air for Her.

I loved the softness of the mask. I just could not control the leaks in my eyes.

Re: Changed masks 5 times

Hang in there. I probably tried more masks than 5. Many of them were the ones you listed. I know alternate between the Swift FX for Her and F&P Eson Nasal.

Re: Has anyone had any success with the Quattro FX for Her?

Thanks everyone for your responses. I have tried to do what you are saying but not with much success. I will keep trying. I am a side sleeper, mouth breather that is why I started with a FF mask and have been trying to stay with one. My RT suggested I try a nasal mask with a chin strap. My stats are...

My sleep doctor reviewed my titration study results and sent me an email sharing that because the results were rather inconclusive in terms of the proper pressure setting she was writing a prescription for an autopap. I educated myself on exactly what that was by using the internet and on forums lik...
