Hi Jean, if you want to use the nasal pillows maybe they need to turn down your setting on your machine so that it doesn't blow so hard...that can really hurt...I have heard about the the new head piece you are talking about but I don't know how to get it...you might call the company the makes your machine and see if they know anything about it. hope this helps...good luck, sherri

Hi Mary, The gear with the mouth piece is called CPAP PRO. If you type it in the site should come up. Check it out - its a freak out! I can't imagine ordering the thing - What if I didn't like it? I will experiment some more. Maybe I just need to get a chin strap. Its such a sexy look at night! I call it a "go YON" look LOL Jean

I had surgery (first half of a DS) in November '06, I'm 7 months out.... lost a little over 100 pounds and feel pretty good!, but did a repeat sleep study and my settings changed from a 13 to a 12. Not a big change, huh? I'm disappointed..... the pulmonologist was not sooo sympathetic... What do you think? Only fat people have sleep apnea? He asked me. Well, maybe the next 50 or so pounds will improve the apnea.... I can keep hoping! Mary C

I have the same problem with the straps staying on. I have thin, fine hair - but I guess its slippery! Haven't found headgear that will stay on yet. sigh..... Jean
