mask trouble

Posted by phinton188 on February 25, 2004 at 16:09:06:

I have been using CPAP now for over 2 years and have just recently developed a problem with the mask. It leaks and i start to loose pressure.I use the Simplicity Medium. The question I have is the medium is too small and they dont make a large. There have been times I've cut the smaller mask to make it fit better but the cut mask only lasts for a month or so.

Any suggestions for the folks needing a larger mask?
I tried the pillows and that was disasterous. The Gel mask is big enough but it makes me sweat.
