That advice was from a Maxillo-Facial surgeon

Take painkillers whilst wearing the mask was her answer

"I could add more about dry sockets and sinus perforations, and the need to make the 'gold standard for treatment' that a bone graft is done concomitantly with the extraction, but that's for another day" Why did you mention Dry Sockets !!!!!!! I now have one and trying to use a Vitera mask is !!!!!!...

By the time its healed up 2 more teeth will be coming out and then 2 more after that . Its all being done in a outpatient hospital but not the same one which supplies the CPAP unfortunelatly Im hoping to buy a F30i mask on a black friday deal but until then Im using a Simplus mask with loose straps....

I stopped using Oscar and now just look at Myair stats.
Oscar would show data which could not be explained so whats the point of it anyway,
If Myair shows that my AHI is good, leakage is low and the time used is OK why do I need anything else

After last night I know how low I can set the maximum pressure.
Even though my AHI was 0.2 I had a bad dream like I used to have pre CPAP.
So back to 10-16 which will be OK until I have more back teeth taken out on the other side of my jaw

Im in the UK so things may be diiferent
All I can find from a test done 12 years ago is that my "oxygen desaturation dip rate " was 42.82

I dont know what my untreated AHI is !!
I reduced the range from 10-20 to 10-16 with not much change in AHI
Reducing it to 10-14 gave me a AHI of 0.9 last night
Do I keep on reducing the pressure and loosening the straps

Im thinking that loosening the straps ,on my Simplus mask, and lowering the pressure, on my Airsense 10, to reduce leaks may be better than not using CPAP at all.
My pressure range is 10-16 and my AHI is allways under 1
What pressure could I reduce too and what would be a acceptable increase in AHI?

I have been given a Resmed Swift FX pillow mask to try . I was surprised how much air flowed through my nasal airways but its not enough. I was gasping for breath after 3 mins. My nasal airways are too restricted

The ENT thought it was too risky and from a ENT point of view i could still breath with my mouth

If I could use a nasal mask i would not be having this problem

My sleep clinic has improved. When I first started the could supply a machine but no full face mask so had to buy one just to try out a machine. I have visited Resmed at Harwell Campus a couple of times and have bought numerous bits from them, I might buy a F30i from them but will do it from there w...

Thanks for that . I did not think it was that large.

Im hoping that the shape of the F30 may avoid the painful area of my face.

In the UK if I buy a mask from one website I can get a full refund if i return the mask. Seeing that the mask is larger than I thought that may be a better bet

As I mentioned in a previous post Im from the UK My sleep clinic ? can only supply the Resmed F20 mask when I think the f30i would put less pressure on the painful part of my face. The Maxillo-Facial service at a local hospital who did the extractions have said that I can use my CPAP even though the...
