RE: New user question
Hi I have been using nasal pillow mask and really like it. Was doing fine but now I need to get full face mask as am having to many episodes happening. Worked well for a couple of months so am surprised things changed and now not as well controlled. Wondering also where to start when trying to choose one. I am from Canada but winter in Florida. I am covered at home with insurance to get a mask. Thank goodness. Wish I could buy one in states as a lot cheaper here.

Look up your local DME in Florida and stop by. I would bet you could try on several mask and find what you want. If at first you do not succeed keep trying another DME.

Sleep-well

If you have leaks, there might be a solution. If it is events without leaks, you don't need a mask change.
