Thanks Kath. My sister in law in USA says someone in her self help group who tried everything else ended up with a total FFM. My sleep tech in Oz has never obtained one to try as we both agree they look so overwhelming. Perhaps when I report your positive experiences as well she will now do so. I am currently using a Chiroflow pillow (water base, conventional pillow top). It works better than any of my previous pillows but it sounds like the FitLife might require the newer design pillow you mention on your site.

A few people have recommended the FitLife FFM but I can not stand leaks and air blowing in my eyes would not be acceptable. Can anyone comment on this particular aspect of this mask ?

Hi Kath, So can you breathe any better ? Are you back on pap? Or did they take out your appendix by mistake? : )

We said that about the custom masks too. So far I only won ten dollars I think dr Park charges a bit more than that : (

Thanks Kath, I've been thinking about you, but the days after the 5th jusst seemed to get away from me. Sometime you can get a pretty good deal on a FitLife on cpapauctio.com. Unless you really have a big face I suggest the small. It's really too small, but I make it work and so far there's no medium. Cpap.com has them sale price at $144. I don't know if as a dealer you can get a better deal elsewhere. I'm sure you've looked into it.
So glad the surgery on the turbinates went well and you had little pain.
Thanks for writing.

They don't have a mask setting on these machines for these new masks. I asked my DME and he said just to set it on standard mask. Your supplier may have an idea about that. It seems to me the larger volume area inside the mask could make a difference.
Good luck.

Yeah, Kath. That Total Face Mask is a one size fits all. I'll be interested in hearing your opinion of it.
Have fun tonight,
Mary Z.

Hi, Kath, mine is not real quiet so you don't notice it's there, but my pressures are high. On the very bottom of the mask, under where the hose connections comes out, on the silicone there will be a S or L. I'm a medium, which they don't make. LOL. I hope you can get it all adjusted, it can be hard to separate the sound of leaks from the noise of the mask. I just feel around the edges with my finger for air escaping.

Mary Z.
Hope it helps. Should be good after that kind of surgery.

Kath, good luck with the operation.
