TO PUGSY! Thanks for your help. You have great insight!

TO Pugsy.
The mask shoves the nasal pillows up my nose. I loosened them last night, but no matter what, it shoves them up my nose. Its the design I think. I am using small nasal pillows too. If I pull mask down a little the pain is relieved and there are no leaks, but there is no way to keep it down.

HELP! Mirrage Liberty Hybrid Full Face Mask
Does anyone else use this mask and if so did it cause you a lot of pain in the nose? Not a little annoying pain that can be ignored but actual pain!

Update! Amara View mask
Hello, I tried the new mask and it leaked so bad it wasn't even funny! Its because, I am working with a really incompetent Sleep Tech. He gave me a large. I told him I was sized at a local medical place and a medium is what I need. He said, I need a large, so if I open my mouth it wont fall off. SO,...

Does the Amara View LEAK AT NOSE A LOT?
I havent even started this new mask and am paranoid about it leaking too much and keeping me awake. Im at my wits end and just need a break. I need it to work! Its hard enough to get adjusted to this CPAP without all of the other complications.
