Deb, you may need to go to a different mask. I had to try about 7 or 8 before I finaly found one that fit right. It should definitely not hurt you, if it fits right. There is some air leakage, but my provider told me if it leaks alittle around chin area...that was ok. You do not want it leaking at the bridge of the nose/eye area. Also, when I tried the different masks, they did not charge each time. They only charged for one mask. As to your question about the extra small mask...I think they only have small med and large. Hope this helps. JoAnn

Yes, you need to try different masks to get the right fit. Don't be shy. Find one that works well!

I have been here before, a long long time ago and now I am back.Forgive me for not just saying what I want to say,even under a triple dose of antidepressants it is still raw and seeping and I am hesitant at revealing it as at least under the bandages around my heart I don,t have to look at how raw and wounded.My child was cleaved from my heart by his own actions. my child of ten,turning eleven...
