Sorry I didn't respond to your comment directly. But in the original post I said, " I'm trying out different chin straps and cervical collars to see if I can get anything to keep my mouth shut and avoid such bad leakage problems."Julie wrote: ↑Fri Jun 08, 2018 7:10 pmYou say you 'don't understand', but it's so glaringly obvious that your leaks are huge and need to be dealt with before getting into finer details of other aspects. I wish you had responded to my idea of a soft cervical collar as it has helped so many with similar problems.
And in post 3 I said, "So far I've tried one chin strap and a 2.5 inch cervical collar to help. Last night's records are in spite of the cervical collar. I have a 3 inch collar on order, should arrive tomorrow. I don't know if that will work any better. I fear it might actually be too wide."
So yes, I was already wearing a cervical collar on the nights for which I've posted data. I had hoped that the 3 inch one would arrive today as was expected, so I'd be able to report tomorrow if it was wearable and if it did any more good. Unfortunately, I got word today that the shipment has been delayed, so it will be into next week before I can test that out.
And the earliest appointment I could get at the DME to try different masks was next Thursday. So again, I'm on my own to try to do what I can in the meantime.
I plan to get into my scrap bag of cotton fabrics and make a few mask liners I can try out tonight. One step at a time.
