Have you tried the Amara view? It is a full face mask but id very minimal in terms of covering your nose and mouth. How pro-active did you need to be in terms of thr follow-up appointment at Mayo? I also had a sleep study done at Mayo and got my CPAP at Gonda 17 about eighteen months ago but gave heard nothing from Mayo in terms of follow-up.

Hi @bernese53, the Amara View is much like my Dreamware full face mask that fits under the nose. I had thought about trying it but feel I will have the same issues as with the Dreamware since it's under the nose and breathing through a hole in the mask to the nose.

Are you on Medicare? I don't think the follow up is as important if you are not on Medicare unless you are having trouble. When you got your CPAP machine at Mayo did you have to sign a contract for purchasing it? If you are having problems I would definitely recommend calling and making a follow up appointment. I think they can be helpful in analyzing sleep breathing problems.
