Yep, time to dig out the Lansinoh and see if that helps.
Or the Ayr gel.
Best of luck

Re: Things were going so well... and then....
It's always good to have a spare mask of a different type for occasions like this, or for stuffy nose. You usually can get a new mask every X months under your insurance, so you might want to get a spare mask or two as they will pay for them.
If possible, get a spare of what you use and a different type, too.

Re: Things were going so well... and then....
I had the same problem with my Swift LT. I switched to the nasal mask, added a few handmade mask liners (forehead, nasal, side straps) and never looked back. I get less leaks and I'm more comfortable sleeping on my side and don't need to readjust when I change position.
