I was fitted Tuesday and have the Quattro FX. I have searched on here and there is quite a bit of information about masks and that particular one seems quite popular.
I agree with those on here, it's light and quite comfortable.
However, sometime during the night I bite on the inside of my lower lip right under the left corner, almost the cheek area.
It's also hard to make a good seal as I turn from side to side while sleeping. Several times I'll wake up with air blasting my eye or down my chin.
I tried the Ultra Mirage on too, but the Quattro FX just felt better.
Prior to getting the bipap I had used a cpap off and on and had the Ultra Mirage mask. I can't remember any issues with biting my lower lip but of course the last time I used it was a while ago and my Bulbar ALS symptoms were just starting.
Anyway...has anyone else had this problem and did switching to a different mask help? And if so which mask was most helpful in alleviating the biting?
I always appreciate whatever advice you guys give and I hope some day I can give advice too instead of just asking for it all the time!
