Re: Frustrated!!!

Thank you for your suggestions. I do clean my mask, liner, and face regularly. I also have replaced my cushion but still have the leaks. I'll keep trying as I have been doing but this is really frustrating and discouraging as I thought it would be a piece of cake and I would feel much better. Not th...

Frustrated!!!

Been using my APAP for almost 4 months now. I was doing good until recently. I am now getting major mask leaks with either my Amara View or my AirFit 10. I use a mask liner by PadACheek on both masks. At first there was no problem with the liner now I am wondering if the liner is causing the increas...

Re: Dry Mouth

Definitely a mouth breather and most likely will not be able to stop. Will not add a chin strap as it has been enough of a challenge getting used to the FFM and this whole CPAP stuff!! Will give the mouth gel a try, thank you. Love my GSD. I know the cat has attitude but love the control of the GSD!!

Dry Mouth

Just changed to the Amara View FFM last PM. Worked rather well. I also use the AirFit 10 FFM. With both masks I have been waking up with a very dry mouth. I have a heated humidifier and have increased the temp to 83 and humidity to 6. Any other suggestions?

Hybrid Full Face Masks

I am considering switching from my ResMed Airfit 10 to one of the hybrids. I have been on my Auto Pap now for about 1 1/2 months. I need a FFM because I am a mouth breather. Because of my nose blocking up, it was suggested to me on another post to use Breathe Right Strips which I am doing with much ...

FFM Issues

I am a new cpap user. I have a Resmed AirSense 10 with ClimateLine Air and Quattro FX mask. I am a mouth breather so need a full face mask. I don't think I am claustrophobic but the mask makes me feel nervous at times. I want to keep fidgeting with it. It especially presses on the left side of my no...
