In the meantime, call the lab and get a copy of your first study.  You can then be more informed when asking questions the 2nd time around.

Good luck with your titration!  I will bet you take to it easily after all your mask experience.

Firefighterflint,

How is it going? Any updates?

I spent many years on all sorts of masks, from firefighting, scuba, flight oxygen mask and I think it all helped when it came time to CPAP.  I still have issues with the hose but my doctor said I am doing great.

I am going to try a hybrid mask due to opening my mouth while sleeping, but other then that I am amazed to be dreaming again and the energy level during the day is improving. It has only been a little over a month.
