Ooops. Sorry. Pasted wrong link. Pretend you never saw that. Someone must be messing with my PC again.

Here is what you need: wiki/index.php/Hybrid_Mask_Modifications

The Innomed is the correct mask. The Liberty is an inferior knock-off by ResMed.

Hi,

Before you try all the different masks would you try one more thing.

Use a chin strap and a tape and see how it works. My thinking is this: the chin strap will keep your jaws together even though the jaw muscles have relaxed and the tape would keep the lips sealed (literally speaking).

I"ve had excellent results with waterproof tape (not that froo froo surgical stuff), a viscoelastic travel pillow turned to brace my chin up, and by wiping my lips with witchhazel prior to applying the tape.

Karl,

You might want to try a ca-clamp!! A A A It might leave a mark under your chin but it might be worth it!! :lola: :lola: :lola:
