Oh, well then.
You all can do what you want to do...and I won't bitch (at least out loud) but in this situation with 8 pages already...I am not looking forward to 8 more pages to sort through. :lol: :lol:

As soon as I get the SD card and a new nasal only (hopefully a Bleep mask or non mask, lol) I will start a new thread.

Having a hard time keeping my mask on even though MyAir seems to think I am doing well :roll:
It slips forward, I think because of my hair. Woke up 3 times last night with the ff mask on my chin and not on my nose at all. Fiddle farted around with it for a while and still did the same thing. Maybe I need to put my hair in a pony tail and the junction strap under this, maybe it would keep it from slipping off.

Top strap is tightened as much as I can handle without a tension like headache in the morning.

What size frame on the DreamWear are you using?
Did you get the little fleece side wraps with your mask package? If you did...are you using them?

Small but I have the medium also. Yes I have the fleece side wraps and now, I haven't even tried them.

Try adding the fleece side wraps around the small frame and see if that helps with the mask wanting to move around during the night.
Might just snug it up enough to stop the movement without having to crank down the straps (which probably won't help anyway if it is the frame that is just a little too big).

I had a similar problem with this mask even with the small frame...the fleece wraps helped a little but not quite enough so then I added some old other wraps around the rest of the frame and the movement stopped.

This thread is 8 pages long...and counting.
i see your point. and i recognize the validity.

maybe in the new thread, we can have a link back to this one? not everyone would read it, but at least it would be preserved.

i dunno. would just appeal to my sense of tidiness, i reckon.
people say i'm self absorbed.
but that's enough about them.

I would like easy access to it (with a link in the first post of a new thread) so I could go there if I wanted to.
Normally I would also want things continued in this thread but it's massive and it went sideways and most of what is here really isn't going to pertain to the actual therapy itself unless it might be the recent mask issues.

I am good with either though....it's just a minor preference on my part and I won't get all upset if I don't get what I want.....at least in this situation. :lol:

well, i don't know what else i could say. and it's true, i do have a tendency to skim posts rather than read them.

(sigh) someday i'll learn.
