new mask, leaks, very tired

Posted by drunkmonk on May 31, 2006 at 11:31:39:

I've gone from a nose mask to a full face mask a little while back. A couple of related questions. The doc said that the machine corrects for slight leaks. Is this true? I don't trust her. And do I still need the same pressure (10) when I'm now using a full face? I have not felt any better since I switched from the nose mask. Of course I should say that with the nose mask I did several long nights of sleep + naps before I started to feel a difference. Too many late nights and no naps as of late. So I suppose that could be the problem.

Any thoughts?
