"Respond"

Is that in the model name on the front of the machine?

Quite a few members use these covers - https://www.padacheek.com/

Hopefully, some of the users will comment.

Anyone use the Caldera Releaf neck support for sleeping ? Don't get it. Too complicated. Costs too much. A bit gimmicky. Just get a cheap, generic foam cervical collar such as https://www.amazon.com/OTC-Cervical-Collar-Support-Medium/dp/B000JNRLCI I have worn one every night for years. Works with a...

Why, what did the post do?

I've received a couple dozen PMs from members that say, "Why are you apologizing for the post? The post has never done anything to need an apology. It's you that has!"

I was an early adopter...the device was implanted in my right breast in July 2020.

Not to mention shoes smooshing my mug

Are the leaks enough to be concerned about? You said they are. ----------------> I had a lot of trouble last night with the mask leaking. I took it and my chin strap off and put them back on a couple of times in the night in sort of a brain fog. Judge your sleep in the late evening. Were you energe...

You need to ask your doctor and DME if they will work with you on this.

If you get a ResMed machine, compliance data will only be uploaded in the country where the machine was sold. This is probably the same for other CPAP machine companies.

Just about every day my machine says my mask fit is great.

Look at the leak line on your chart. See how often it goes higher than the red line.

The graphs are fine. First priority is getting control of the leaks. Have you studied some YouTube videos about fitting and adjusting your mask model?
