TRied 431 and need advice. Software info inside. Thanks

Post by cindyh » Sun Sep 09, 2007 12:45 pm

night and didnt wake up all night, WOW, and when i did wake up at 8 hours it was without an alarm clock which has been unheard of for years.. still a slight headache, but much better, dry throat so i assume i was opening my mouth inside the full face.. which means i was opening it the whole time as i thought..

Now, i adjusted the 431 very well, felt no air anywhere, but the data shows after 20 minutes, which is when i went to sleep I went into large leak at over 100 per hour and stayed there all night so my leak time was 93 percent.. and even after that I feel better, wow.. It also bumped my 90 percent number up to 9 for the first time and i was even in 10 sometimes, and the software showed much much more snoring than i have ever seen...

So, now my dilemma will be to find a full face that doesnt move easily for someone who moves a lot and digs her face into the pillow on my side..

trying to make all this work out, i know there has to be a right mask for me. I do look HORRIBLE today, the 431 just has no padding or cushion, i read the 432 they put foam in at least.

thanks guys, i appreciate very much all the help you give me..

There is a slight size difference between the 431 and the 432... the foam takes up some space... I for one found it pressing on my nose.
