Full face mask

Post by pdean44 » Sat Oct 23, 2010 3:16 pm

As much as like my activa mask I have been having too may problems with sinus issues and some snoring. When I dont have sinus problems it works well with a chin strap. The problem is i have allergies and frequent issues with sinuses. I got a hold of hte doctor and she asked if i was taking my allergy meds and adjusting the humidifier. Told her I have tried every setting possible and have used the neti pot and all meds and i still have frequent enough problems for it to be an issue and cant be getting good therapy if i am mouth breathing and snoring. So she said what do you suggest then? That took aback for a second when i figure that was her turn to suggest something. So i said what i suggest is that you write me a prescruption for a full face mask so i can try that . So she said she will and the supplier wil contact me monday for a fitting appointment. So now i have to think about what kind of full face i may end up with. Hopefully something i can get to work wihtout problems.
