You are sounding like AMESS, there comes a point where you must adapt to your problems, there is no magic red or green pill. Jim

Newsflash: Max is still failing.

Either find a FFM that works for you, or conquer your mouth leaking. That is what the rest of us have done - but then you wouldn't be special anymore.

All FFMs in existence are larger and bulkier than the Amara View, so a FFM that works for me does not exist until somebody makes one with a top mounted hose - then I would try it.

As for mouth breathing, I have tried everything short of the "mummy wrap" around my head, and I know that's not going to work - it would wake me up at LEAST as much as the View. My sleep is relatively fragile (goes along with possible UARS) so too much disturbance from anything costs me sleep.

At least it's less than a week to go for my next titration. I'm not sure what will come of it, but I am near the end of my rope walking around as a caffeinated zombie...

I would have thought 4 months in I would have felt even a TINY bit better.

And FYI, being special isn't a goal of mine in this area, so just drop it.

You KNOW what FFM will not work for you???????
You KNOW that restricting mouth leaking via a wrap or tape will not work?????
According to you, your issue is the mask and mouth leaking yet you will have another titration study??????
You would have thought 4 months would have helped????? Time will not make the wrong treatment work.
I did not agree with xxyzx on much, but him coining you as "special" was accurate. Your treatment is still your choice. Unfortunately, my original post to you is still accurate.

looks promising. Let me guess - you have a needle phobia??????
