  • Mask fittingsession ; highly recommended

    If you are having mask seal problems, I'd strongly recommend seeking the advice of the hospital technicians for a proper mask fitting session using a machine set to the actual pressure you are using. They are the experts. When
    I first got my mask, I was given some general advice but did not have a proper fitting and a trial with a machine and I've had a lot of trouble getting a decent seal since.

    Eight weeks now and Lamia and I were still having difficulties adjusting to each other. She kept trying to bite my face off or hiss into my eyes so we never seemed to get through an unbroken night together and I woke up feeling as if I'd been to war. We both felt we were barely tolerating each other. I'd tried all sorts of homespun remedies to control her excesses but last week we went back to the technicians for counselling.
    Within minutes, the relationship guidance counsellor had coupled us to one of their machines, unpicked all my adjustments and come up with an arrangement of the headgear and forehead pad - Lamia's a Mirage Quattro - that allows her lips to get a closer seal on my uniquely beautiful features. The last few nights have much more successful; she seems a lot happier and much quieter, though she's still a bit full on and likes to be in charge - I guess true love takes time and always involves compromises.

    pleased you got her sorted oldcrow.
    E.T. is also a Miragequattro, and is absolutely brilliant, and am managing 4-6 hours a night now.
    When i 1st got mine, i had to take machine etc to have it fitted properly for size etc and this definately does help and make a difference.

      That may be alright for some but what do you do when your hospital only supply nasal masks when I require a full face one.

          Insist

          Sadly, these days you don't seem to get anywhere by being polite and patient. Maybe folks are run off their feet and just want you to go away - or are demotivated - or just plain rude! I had to insist to get anywhere with my problem; insist that it wasn't MY fault and insist on what I wanted. Sadly you have to make a fuss to get noticed - certainly there should be full-face masks on offer, though they have their peculiarities too
