I tried the medium the first night and noticed a quick spike in my pressures when I was trying to go to sleep. The second night I tried the "medium wide" and pressure felt much better...but noticed the sore nose. 3rd night with MW, same result, fine sleep, great AHI and pressures but slight soreness...

Trying this mask out, and it's making my right nostril feel sore in the morning. I've only tried it for two nights...sleeping well with it and low AHI, but the nose thing is bothersome. Any thoughts as to what may be causing this?

I had the Simplus FF as well and that bar and all the gear drove me nuts. I don't see many people utilize the nasal masks...but I went from hating the thing to really getting comfortable. Leaking is minor and only occurs if I lay sideways and fall into a certain position... I like my nasal mask beca...

I am a fellow newbie, started with a FF mask and hated it...went to a nasal mask and love it! I don't open my mouth so no issues for me...but if you do open yours, simply get a chin strap...

Just curious...I use distilled water...but dump it out every night...

What do you do?

My doctor told me (and I have a notice in my CPAP bag) that we medically get an extra carry on when we travel via airplane...

Haven't had to do it yet, but doesn't seem like a big deal.

Is a nasal mask not an option? I love mine after trying a FF mask and hating it.

I will be purchasing a batter back for my cpap (or a smaller travel version) because I do LOVE to camp but just diagnosed with severe sleep apnea. Thoughts for ya'll - would you get the battery pack accessory for your actual machine to go camping (backcountry camping) or would you invest in a smalle...

Thanks for the reply and encouragement! I will provide some updated information soon as I am sure I will have more questions.

Thx!

Thank you for the insight. A few responses: 1) I am only a month into therapy and still getting use to the machine/mask/pressure. So those "breaks" are usually caused due to a simple wake up, then I realize I need to pee so I remove the mask and take care of all that stuff. Then I usually put the tv...

Fellow newbie here...

Just keep at it...I have severe sleep apnea and was diagnosed less than a month ago. It gets better...has for me anyway. I was having 80+ AHI pre-CPAP...night one I dropped to 10...now I hover under 1.

I keep getting more and more use to the mask...it does seem to get easier.

I'm interested in you all taking a look at my past two nights of results...

I haven't seen that blue line in any of my results since starting therapy on 4/5...

Trying to post my results here as I have a few questions. How the hell do I get it to show up in a post? I have the screenshot saved on my HD...

Thx in advance

Same spot as you my friend...started CPAP therapy on 4/5/17 - started with full face mask, couldn't swing it. Love my nasal mask I have now. My AHI was 80+ prior to getting diagnosed...now my AHI hovers below 1. I have had a night or two of 2's on the AHI scale...but for the most part all is well. K...

Thanks to anyone that responds in advance. Two questions: 1) What information should I be pinning on my SleepyHead results for posting/observation here? So I don't have a three page thread of information... 2) How ofter are you all replacing the seal portion of your nasal masks? Do you wait until it...
