CPAP Total Face Mask
I was curious whether anyone has used the CPAP Total Face Masks and could pass on their observations? I've been using an Airfit F20 for years which is fine apart from the permanent red mark on the bridge of my nose, and have recently tried the…See More

"Hi
It sounds like you need to have more conversations with your sleep clinic. There's little point in having a high pressure if it means you cannot tolerate the machine. There's an interesting video here…"
Pressure waking me up. Belching and wind
HiI'm using the prisma smart max machine. Initially I was just on a nasal mask, this changed as I was sleeping with my mouth open. I then went to face and nose mask and complained of bad wind and belching. Sometimes the pressure in the night was…See More

My first thought is "don't panic"! We're all a bit different, and there are many things that can be tweaked. I took to CPAP therapy like a duck to water, but I've had friends who say they can't cope, but…"
1st time and I’ve failed the mask leak test

Good to know I'm not alone here! The idea for a local group sounds good.
Hi Lisa,
That might be a nice idea, and I had no idea there were others from Tayside! Let me know what the others think.

Thank you Lisa,
I wondered why I didn't have the information everyone else seemed to be talking about. Hadn't thought about it being a basic model.
Hi Lisa,
thank you for your comments, i do indeed go to Ninewells. Just diagnosed last month, so only been the twice, i go back on 16th April, and will have questions written down this time lol
reading previous posts i gather your over in sunny australia, lucky you. i was over in brisbane for 6 weeks last year and loved every minute of it. saving up hard for another visit, but want to go business class, so probably wont be for 4 or 5 years, unless lottery comes up.
have a great time, speak soon
I'll wait for a reply, in Melbourne meetings are on the 3rd Thursday at night in the city.
Not sure if I'll go as it is difficult to park in the city.
I have given you the details for the NSW group.
They don't seem very organised.

REGULAR INFORMATION SESSIONS for 2012 held monthly
Have you been recently diagnosed with OSA (obstructive sleep apnea) or had CPAP (Continuous Positive Airway Pressure) prescribed?
Do you want to know more about sleep apnea and its treatment?
If so, why not come along to an Education Session to learn much more about sleep apnea and its treatment.
These days are held on the first Saturday of each month. They are intended to complement the activities of the sleep clinic which you have attended.
These sessions are particularly useful to people who believe they may have sleep apnea, newly diagnosed sufferers, those
waiting for their second sleep study as well as those using CPAP for the first time, but all interested people are welcome.
These days start at 1pm and finish at 3pm.
Tea and coffee is supplied. Sessions are very interactive, questions are encouraged and all explanations are given in easily understandable language.
Topics:
• obstructive sleep apnea
• your sleep study
• treatment options
• questions and answers
Venue: Merrylands
Cost: $10.00
