Re: New an very unsure!

Thank you, I will try adjusting the headgear and keeping my mouth shut. Some nights are worst than others for dry mouth but it seems to be improving.. I find this mask comfortable but I might order a P10. I do have a problem with being claustrophobic so am staying away from full face for now.

Re: Where to buy CPAP in Canada?

CPAP.com will not sell any product that is Resmed or Respironics.

I have been getting Resmed products from them and I am in Nova Scotia. Where did you get that BS?
