I was just wondering if anyone else has experienced a sore jaw while using a full face mask for your CPAP machine. I don't know why, but out of the blue, this week has been absolute torture for me.

Re: I Hate My CPAP!

I'm not sure what the data or lack of it means, but how did your sleep feel after a few days, more rested? I don't know, on some days I did and on some I didn't. I'm not sure if it was because of my sleep patterns or because some mornings I woke up to go to the bathroom and couldn't fall right back...

Re: I Hate My CPAP!

Hey, I just wanted to drop a quick note from my tablet to say thanks again for all this information. I'm on vacation this week but as soon as I'm back to my laptop, I'm gonna have tons more questions. I didn't want anyone to think I just flaked out. Thanks again!

Hi, all - I'm new to this forum after finding it through a bunch of searches I've done about my new CPAP machine. I was hoping that someone could assure me that this will all get better, as I've had some problems and annoyances with my new machine. I know that sounds silly, but I'm really struggling...
