Hey Thanks! Great idea! Since last night was the second night with that mask and the first time it did that, I hadn't gotten to the solution stage yet!
I believe I have some elastic in the sewing room. I'll have to check on that when I get home.

RE: NEW MASK IS AWESOME!
Got as new pillow today that is supposed to be made for CPAP users. Should be interesting to see what, if any, difference it makes tonight.
On a different note entirely, my machine is old. They say CPAP, I say iron lung. No data at all other than total hours and days over 4 hours. This means that in order to get data I need other methods. I already asked so don't even go there, no, I cannot have a new machine. I was thinking that with nothing more than an oximeter I could actually get quite a bit of data. While it won't give me a clear picture of the actual treatment, it will give me an idea of the results of the treatment. I also read something somewhere about some other device whereby you wear some headband and it sends brainwave or whatever data to some base unit. For the life of me I am drawing a blank on what it is called. I want to call it a Zeo device or some name close to that. This is not a cheap device. I was wondering what people think about the oximeters for data in the absence of other data and what the general consensus is regarding this other device (and there may be more that just this one but I may not have run into it yet). I would love to hear people'
s opinions on this and it may be posted somewhere I have not found yet on this board, in which case a link to the section would be appreciated. I've read up on the Oximeters and have decided that if I want to go that route I will go with the 50E (my laptop doesn't do Bluetooth so no point in the EW), but I have yet to find opinions on the oximeter with no CPAP machine sd card data.
Thanks
