Snoring story
#17
Thanks for the support and good news that even if you have ripped off your mask, you do find a way to cope eventually. His have leaked air (making a high pitched squeeky sound) and blown air on me (like sitting in front of a fan)several times. He has done the styles that cover his mouth and nose and some that just cover his nose and then others that have baffles. The only kind he has not tried are the nose bud style... but then he would have to wear a chin strap to keep from breathing out of his mouth. His machine has a humidifyer but he still has to use gel and special toothpaste to keep moisture in his mouth too. Last night I got all of 2 hours sleep. No fun. He got 4 hours of "quality sleep" which is considered a victory.

Devany,
When I was trying to learn all about cpap usage etc. I read many stories about people going through many masks before they finding the right one.

The many stories I read had a common take away message, and that was just to keep tring and tweaking the system till you get it right.

Your husband seems to be a believer and I'm sure he'll eventually get it down.

I think I got lucky on the 1st mask. It is the Swift Mirage II.
I still went through times of ripping it off, but I eventually got used to it.

I have no doubt that the cpap not only increased the quality of life but saved mine.




Aloha au i Hawai`i,
devany
