New mask...seems to be working.

Post by MickiJo » Thu Apr 10, 2014 1:41 pm

I got my new mask on Tuesday. I tried using it Tuesday night, but to no avail...it kept leaking. I tried again last night...after taking an Ambien. I drifted off to sleep. I feel a lot better today than I have the past week. I hope that this new mask does the trick. I went for a size small to a size medium.

Have you tried mask liners? They were a game changer for me... I have fibromyalgia too, I'm still waiting for it to do what people have told me - that fibro goes away once you've been on cpap for a while.

I have not tried mask liners...something to think about. I have never heard that Fibro sometimes goes away with Cpap therapy. That's something to look forward to.
