Do she need to put the cone of shame on you?

Look back at your message and reword it so that it makes some sense.

WHY are you 'at your face and head'?

Are you a dog? The old saying is "on the internet, nobody knows you're a dog" maybe your wife should answer these questions.

welcome to the zoo! not a lot to go on here. but i was wondering if maybe a full face mask just isn't for you. perhaps try a nasal pillow mask or a nasal mask.

look here for some possibilities-

or

good luck!!

Or you haven't yet tried the FF one most suitable for you (and do that lying down cuz your face changes a lot then) out of the very many ones available. Look on Cpap.com for variety.
