Has anyone found that they do better with a bigger or smaller mask than the one that is supposed to be your size? I was told I am a medium size with the Amara View mask but it didn't feel right so I purchased a large cushion and it seems to do better with less leaks.

I went for my 6 week check up and my doctor said I am the perfect patient. I am above compliance numbers and my AHI is under 5. He said he doesn't need to see me for a year. Problem is I don't want to be just under 5 AHI, I want to be below 1. I have been playing with the low pressure and have incre...

I am not feeling very refreshed in the AM and am still getting sleepy during the day around 3:00 P.M. that is why I wanted to post my numbers, to see if there was anything else for me to try. I don't see my doctor for a few more weeks. robysue, thanks for the RERA info, can you give me some more hel...

OK going to try this again, the screen shots didn't work the first time. I have been on Apap since mar 16th and this forum has been so helpful. You have helped with my DME issues and I was able to get a new mask, I really don't think I could have made it this far with my original mask. I visit every...

I finally heard back from the DME, they left me a voice mail saying they only stock the air fit masks as per the doctors request and can not let me get another mask. She looked up my machine data and said it looked like I was doing fine so I don't need another mask anyway. She said I would get use t...

So last night was my first night with CPAP. I found it to be not as scary as I firs was dreading. Don't get me wrong I woke up multiple times with a panic type attack but was able to calm myself down without removing the mask and fall back to sleep. Now I know my stats say I slept over 7 hours with ...

Yes I did get the Airsense 10 Autoset for Her. Thanks to finding this forum before going to the final doctor apt I new to ask for that machine. The good thing is that the Airsense Autoset is the only one that my doctor perscribes. The DME he sent me to only had the Airsense model and only the Airfit...

I went to the DME today that the doctor told me to go to. They had my machine ready and when it came time to try on masks they only had AirFit Masks. P10, N10, and F10. I am a mouth breather I found out as soon as I put on the nasal masks so they wouldn't work for me. I really wanted to try the amar...

Gettingbetter: the doctor didn't say anything about supplemental O2, is that something I should call the office and ask? Okie bipap: This may sound stupid but how do I know if i'm a mouth breather at night? I know when I am sick I am but if i'm asleep i'm not sure how to know. The DME said I can exc...
