Time to rejoice........I slept thru the night.

I finally got a good night sleep! I think the UMFF is the mask for me. I got thru the night without getting up (I think). Thank you Resmed for manufacturing such a great mask. I paid $350 CDN for the mask but it was worth every penny.

Yes, it was $350

Sharon,
I was told that the UMFF is one of the most expensive mask. That was on my invoice and the insurance paid for it less deductible.

Congratulations, DD.
Yeah, that's (initially) kind of an expensive mask, but all the parts are replaceable so if something wears out or breaks, you'll only have to replace the part that's broken......instead of having to throw away the whole mask. So, in that respect, it's probably cheaper or a better value than many others.
Besides, once you get the one that works, you won't have to spend so much money experimenting with others. (unless you become a "mask junkie" like some of the others on this forum.....who will remain nameless )

By the way, I REALLY like your avatar......

Best wishes for continued success.

I am glad to know that the mask parts can be purchased....

...separately.
Oh yeah, the Avatar was great. You know, some nice fella from this forum gave me that one to use. It actually worked out. If I could remember, I think that fella was you.
