Re: How do I keep my mask down?

Thank you for all the input. I'll look into the videos, and see what I've been doing wrong. I'm also going to see what I can come up with for a chinstrap of sorts, even if it's a ribbon tied under my chin. Lol. I'll even study of the bleep. I'm not 100% sure about it, because I have a very poly face...

How do I keep my mask down?

It's been a while since I've been on. I think i FINALLY figured out my problem with my masks (regardless of style). They slide up my face in the night. I prefer a nasal mask (the one that goes over your nose, not in your nostrils). Sweetheart got a new mask, so I switched back to those from a full f...

Thank you all. It looks like the Resmed Mirage Quattro is the way to go for my issues. Thank you!

I'm back! With a question...

ok. So, I've been using the ResMed full face (f20, I think). I hate it. Been using it over a year and it hasn't gotten better for me. It leaks. I HAVE to sleep on my face so it doesn't leak. I have sharp cheekbones (even on a fat girl), so I don't get a good deal near them, plus the mask rides SO hi...

Re: How many masks did you try before finding the right one?

I've been doing cpap since June. I've tried a nasal mask, nasal pillows, and 2 different types of full face masks. If you've seen the only post I started, you'll see that I'm having issues all over the place and haven't found my perfect for yet.

Re: Hi!

As to the nasal pillow mask. When I use it, it ends up sliding off my nose (to one side or the other) almost like the head gear is WAY too big. It doesn't seem like I can get it snug enough. I may need to find a way to secure it behind my head, so it doesn't shift as much.

Re: Hi!

Sweetheart and I have now noticed a few new spots along where my mask touches my face. There's a thin line along where the straps touch that is red and kind of scabby. Nothing as bad as that one area. The bad area started as a swollen, kind of numb spot. The next day, there were pimples (big ugly wh...

Re: Hi!

Thank y'all so much! I've been having issues from day one with the masks, but can't get the lady at the supply place to understand my issue. Since I had my sleep study, I haven't heard back from the docs about how I'm doing or anything. I'm seriously considering going to my regular doctor about the ...

It was too big. Got switched to a full face mask that left pimples and a swollen ridge right between...
