Afrin helps, but it is very dangerous (I was once 'addicted' to it, stupid rebound effect).
I will try picking up that nasal rinse tomorrow! Hopefully my CPAP will start working again tomorrow..

NO AFRIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Can't stress this enough - NO OTC NASAL SPRAYS OF ANY BRAND OR KIND. They are all more trouble than they are worth. I broke down and tried some during my last period of congestion - SO NOT WORTH IT!!!
Do pickup the Sinus Rinse. It's $10 at my Walgreen's.
Try a little pseudophed, if you can tolerate it. Allegra-D 24 hour really helped during my last period of congestion. I take Claritin 24 hour every AM, and only take the pseudophed when I'm blocked.
Cheers,
