As you can see by my "Additional info" in my profile (that comment was for you jaylee), I am at 19/15. I have tried two nasal masks, one full face mask, and one hybrid mask, and they all leak.

The swift is great but I have mouth leaking problems. If you do not have mouth leaking, then I think the pillows are the way to go.

I put mine in too. I think I might try a FF mask tonight. I will report back with my results.

I borrowed my Dad's FFM last night *he hates it and only used it once* and I like it. It was more comfortable than my nasal mask. My allergies are haywire right now and I kept waking myself up last week trying to breath.

Hi,

guys do you experience chest pains sometimes? I'm suffering from it now.. should I lower my epap? my current epap is 22 and that setting is wayback I've started to use a bipap machine..

My condition is dramatically improving day by day.. I dropped down almost 40 lbs since feb 2010 since my doctor advises my to lose weight or lose my life
