I started with the Breeze 3 weeks ago, my idiot DME gave me too large a size and my nostril tore the second night, I struggled thru 2 more nights and gave up and bought a Dreamseal. I like it but I have chipmunk cheeks and I get leaks at the corners. I find I am so busy trying to get the plastic frame of the Breeze headgear comfey that I wake up at bedtime and in the night. I sent away for a NaselAireII today I hope it fits, its the one they used at sleep study. (The idiot doesn't have a NaselAire size thing.)

I felt better right away. I haven't been napping except when I have trouble during the night with leaks, I can tell I had a apnea night. There are people here who say they have been thru 12 masks till they found the perfect one. Keep trying, its soooooo worth it when you have that first great day when you have energy and a clear head. No headaches, no naps, sooo nice!!!

We are here for you, this place is such a great help to us newbies.
