OK. So I’ve been trying to use one for a little over 2 months. Have tried 4 different masks now. I’m a very light sleeper and my nose is very sensitive. Just can’t seem to find one that works for me that doesn’t wake me up all night. Have tried the wisp, nose pillows, nose-cone mask and now trying a full face mask. Don’t have problems with my mouth opening at night. Just want to sleep. Any advice or experiences you can share will be appreciated.

I never could find a mask that worked for me either. Ended up going with an oral device from Simple Sleep Solutions. I dropped 50 pounds and now don't need anything. Good luck.

You offered up many a joke there Frank but I’ll refrain. Sorry about your sensitive nose.

My honest opinion.....First thing I have to say though is I know I’m overweight and could lose about 30 pounds.
Okay, with that said almost everyone I’ve known on a cpap is overweight and that is where you need to start and focus on.
Wish you the best Frank as I sleep like carp and want to make it better

I went the surgery route with an ENT. Recovery is a nightmare but the results were worth it. Good luck, hope you get sorted out, one way or another.

I have one. They suck. I hate sleeping with it, but I was constantly falling asleep while driving and I drive all day. That and my wife couldn't sleep because she thought I was gonna die every night. I've lost about 30lbs since I first got it, but still need it. I've only used the nasal pillows but I'm looking at different options.

Frank, hang in there. It’s worth it when you become accustomed to it.
I never had an issue...but then again, I had been wearing masks for forty plus years. The Airsense10 with a full face works for me.

I’m going in tomorrow for my one month checkup on my machine. I use the full face mask because that’s what the girl recommended. Woke up last night with the hose wrapped around my neck about three times. Thought a python had attacked me in my sleep.

I never did the sleep study when the Dr. offered it - my wife said I snored real bad so I tried a mouthpiece from PureSleep and after fitting it properly I no longer snored. We got another year or so of marital consortium and then she got sick and was later diagnosed with lung cancer and passed. www.puresleep.com

Frank....good luck with that. Pap-smear may be your best option...or, wear the mask backwards like a kamikaze and dive in with all fours.
