Bad night!

Post by SnoozyQ » Sun Dec 26, 2010 3:27 pm

Still struggling with leaks using Quattro. Thought I got situated and fell asleep. Woke up in the middle of the night bc I felt smothered under my mask. My machine was OFF!!! Do serious leaks cause the machine to shut off by itself??? I was so worn out after the Christmas activities that I may not have noticed it leaking in my sleep this time...

Stupid DME hasn't sent my new mask yet....looks like I will spend some of my snowed in time hunting for info on DMEs that my insurance works with.

Do you have an auto-off feature enabled? If so, turn it off!

Nope, auto off is not enabled.

Leaks are worse....my husband even woke me up to tell me to adjust, bc the hissing woke HIM up.

I haven't been feeling as good as I was either.....
