Should you get a Quattro FX full-face mask, you might want to fasten a small chin strap to the bottom of the mask that would keep it from moving up your face when the machine is at full power. Again, be patient. The machine will breathe with you. No need to feel as if the gizmo is forcing you to inh...

From what you're saying, Jenn, a FF mask would suit you better. I'm a mouth-breather and had zero success with a nasal mask.

In any case, be patient (easier said than done) and let the machine work for you.

Josiah: First of all, best of fortunes and may the Lord give you patience to change your life. I have a Quattro FX - the best of many FF masks I tried in the initial stages of using CPAP - and have learned how to succeed and thrive with it after an awful first few weeks in early 2013. I was a lousy ...

Good afternoon, fellow sufferer of the government of the state of Illinois! We are in the far southwest suburbs of Chicago. First of all, best of fortunes and may the Lord give you patience to change your life. I have a Quattro FX - the best of many FF masks I tried in the initial stages of using CP...

First of all, best of fortunes and may the Lord give you patience to change your life. I have a Quattro FX - the best of many FF masks I tried in the initial stages of using CPAP - and have learned how to succeed and thrive with it after an awful first few weeks several years ago. I was a lousy slee...

I'm sorry to hear that folks use this site as a podium to spew hate and vitriol instead of as a haven for leaning how to ameliorate their sleep disorders.

The only way, it seems, that we might mitigate the nastiness is to ignore it and/or not reply when it surfaces.

God bless.

Congrats, Joann 1968.

Last night was bizarre for me. My mask slipped around a bit, I had strange dreams, and also awakened several times.

I'm certain tonight will be better if I resist taking a nap later in today.

In my god-fearing opinion, the CPAP forum exists for the sole purpose of helping people improve their bodies and minds through use of the wonderful sleep technology available to us today.

Politics and other aspects of life have no place on this site.

To Lucyhere and others: This website is a fantastic place for people who have (in some cases) life-threatening maladies. Do yourselves a favor and ignore any attempts at provoking arguments or faux-controversies. Getting into a urinating engagement is simply a waste of time and unneeded angst. Yes, ...

When I first became a CPAP user, I found this forum to be very helpful AND kind. All sorts of people put in their two cents worth and I gained a great deal of knowledge, wisdom, and support. I've been away from cpaptalk for a few months and have returned to perceive that it might be degenerating int...

Carisa: The entire ordeal of making a mask work is an art, not a science. In the successful 17 months with my Quattro FX I've made alteration after alteration en route to satisfying nights of sleep. Among factors which lead one to make ever-so-slight changes are: 1) What time of year it is and how w...

ems: How ironic. When I was a kid and until 1971, THE Memorial Day was my birthday (5/30). Until the day my parents took me aside, I regularly boasted to my buddies that I never had to go to school on my birthday. My father and mother told me that Memorial Day was certainly NOT about me. Instead, th...

My oh my, Squid, that's wonderful. Thanks for sharing it with us.

Tomorrow, make every effort to respect, honor, and never forget those who made the ultimate sacrifices for us. On the other hand, please leave out the hate for those who might not agree with many of us. There's more than enough meanness and spite in this world. Praise the Lord and keep the ugliness ...
