Keeping my mask on

Post by thsoldlady » Sun Jul 17, 2005 8:15 pm

Hi,
I have had my cpap for 5 days now/ I am having a hard time keeping my mask on all night. I have even taken it off in my sleep.
Any ideas??

Hi thsoldlady,

I looked back at a previous topic you posted, to see if I could find what mask you are using. You had written this: "I am getting my cpap and mask this Thursday."

What's the name of the mask you're using?

What things about the mask do you dislike the most when you put it on and first lie down? And what pressure are you prescribed?
