Dreamwear FFM & Padacheek liner - Summer - 01-22-2023
Hello,
I am back on CPAP fully now after falling off the wagon for several years.
I have been using an F20 Airtouch mask but was given a Dreamwear FFM with fit pack to try. I tried it for a week, initially I had some success with zero leaks, but when the weather turned colder I had condensation within the mask that woke me several times a night. Thereafter I increased the tube temperature, the following nights I had more wakes and restlessness, micro leaks, bubbling sensations at the mask margins resulting finally in a rash around my mouth area. I think in my case the extra heat seemed to affect the seal that seemed to caused by facial sweating around the mouth.
Anyway, I would like to try padacheek liner for this mask, has anyone had success using one with this mask?
(I think the nose area area of this mask may not seal well with a liner but I keen to have another try of the mask).
Cheers
