Re: Mouth breathing
I upgraded my machine and got the FFM. I also had them lower my setting to an 8. Funny they started me at a 17 and then said I was ok at an 8 if I didn't like the 17, huh??? So, I've been using it for a few weeks now and I'm waking up 4 or 5 times a night with dry mouth. Also, I think I'm still gett...

Re: Mouth breathing
Well, I have a martini every night ;^). However, rarely did I wake up with a dry mouth prior to the mask. Thanks for the info!

Re: Mouth breathing
I work for a hospital so I know the billing drill. In any case, when I tell them top of the line, and they give me crap, it pisses me off. I should be ok on my own, but, if I need assistance I'll let you know when the second visit is....

Re: Mouth breathing
I'm dealing directly with my Dr. on this. I guess they misunderstood me when I was in the office discussing this. They said the upgrade would cost me another $50, really??? I'm going to see them on Monday and get fitted for a FFM and get an autoset unit. Although, I get the feeling they are going to...

Re: Mouth breathing
Well that sucks, especially considering I told them to give me top of line best equipment for my situation. My insurance covers 80% of DME costs so that's not an issue. I'm waiting for a call back from the Dr.s office to explain it to me. I think I'll stop by there before they close instead. Thanks!

Re: Mouth breathing
Is the S9 Elite one of the bricks - no data but compliance hours? If so, return it and get a full data machine. if you don't know, then why bring it up? and, no, it's the escape models that should be avoided. What's the issue with the Escape model? That's actually what I ahve and was told that it i...

Re: Mouth breathing
Ok, I registered and now you can see the equipment I'm using. I don't think the chin strp is helping me much and will probably stop using it. I do currently use a nasal mask. Why wouldn't a FFM help prevent mouth breathing? Also, I'm not sure if I have the Auto-set or the Elite.
