This is a matter of life and death, do not give up! There are new
full face masks out there, research on the internet..there is one
that has a "well" for your chin in it, I might be trying that next.
There aren't really that many I've tried compared to some...
Ok, here goes...
"Bubble Mask" - 1997 HATED IT
OPAP (Oral Positive Airway Pressure) A dismal failure because of
all that cold air being blown in my mouth. I had the heat turned
all the way up, and even put the machine in the air in an attempt
to warm it.
Activa - leaked like a sieve. Hated it too. Still have it though,
should give it back.
Mirage Full Face. It was a large size, and didn't fit. They never
thought of giving me a smaller one *scowl*
ComfortFull1 was ok, but the ComfortFull2 I now have is great
too. It's been a while, and they want me changing out masks
every 3 months, so I will be getting another type next week :-)
