CPAP class update

The CPAP class was very helpful. I was able to try on as many masks as I wanted while laying down in a bed with a CPAP machine set at my pressure. It turns out the DME did give me the wrong size mask. At the end of the “class” they asked me to choose a mask so they could tell my sleep doc which one I liked best. A few weeks later my chosen mask arrived at my door. I wish they would have told me they were going to arrange for a new mask. Immediately after my class I ordered a new mask from CPAP.com. Thankfully I ordered a different one from the one I chose at the sleep doc’s office. I’ve been playing with the Quattro FX ffm. But now I also have a Quatro Mirage. I had a few good nights with the FX but the last three nights I’ve been getting eye leaks. I’ve tried it with and w/o a padacheek mask liner with mixed results. I am going to play with different pillows to see if that helps. Anyone, especially newbies who are struggling, please ask if your sleep doc can arrange a CPAP class.

With the Mirage Quattro + padacheek liner (+ anti-leak strap, if possible) you can eliminate those eye leaks. I put the mask on with the forehead piece dialed all the way out to 24, and slowly tighten it until the leaks are gone.

What do you mean by "cpap class"?

A few weeks?????

Wow, a few weeks!!!! Wow, I went in for patient teaching and mask fitting and went home at the end of the meeting with everything. I can't imagine waiting a few weeks!! Did they give you a mask to take home to try while waiting for that mask to be mailed to you?
