Now let me wank about the Amara View FFM

Post by RoboLobo » Mon Dec 26, 2016 12:25 pm

Ok, mask number 3, the Amara View and why we broke up its been a while, and I honestly don't remember much about leakage. I loved this mask because it did not wreck havoc with the bridge of my nose. But, it completely irritated my nasal passages. They felt raw after an otherwise good night's sleep. Does anyone else have this problem with this mask? Not until after I stopped using it that I noticed that CPAP.com sells Nasogel (sp) to reduce nasal irritation. Might that help? Thanks!

I'm completely new at this (30 days) but I had the same problem with the Amara View. What worked for me was increasing the humidity level to max and giving a squirt of saline nasal spray before I put the mask on. I'm having other issues with the mask, so the jury is out on whether we'll stay together or not.

The Amara View is my solution to my mouth-breathing and not getting mask leakage.
see my Thankyou post for charts before and after.

And thanks again Pugsy for explaining the leaking to me. I kept me looking
