My RT is coming to my house Tuesday to bring me another mask and to see if we can stop the leaks that keep going on every ;night. When I run a mask test, it says there is none, but when I send in the report it says there is. Does any one have any suggestions? What else can I do? I also run out on water and have to put more in in the middle of the night. I don't feel that the humidity is set to high.

Hi @hosta. Here is a link to help with 10 most common problems.http://www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/sleep-apnea/in-depth/cpap/art-20044164

I am praying your RT will get you on the right track. Might have to change machines for the humity issue. Some machines just have to small of a tank for some patients depending on the climate in the area you live.

Comfort soon
Dawn
