Hi folks,glad to have found this forum.Ihave had sleep Apnea probobly for 10 -15 years.I'am 47 years old a bit overweight but not obese.I just recently quit smoking ,already feel better and can taste food again. Not a single smoke now for 5 months.I just got my CPAP last Monday its a Remstar Plus with C-flex and a Mirage Activa mask.This is my second week and am having a tough time!!I like the mask but my nose breaks out and I get pimples where the mask touches the bridge of my nose!Is this a reaction to the silicon seal?I shower and wash my face every night!Haven"t really gotten a good night sleep yet!!Had the best night sllep during the sleep study ,first time on CPAP,would pay someone if I could sleep that well again.Went back to my DME provider yesterday and they gave me a Breeze Nasal pillow mask,it works good as long as I sleep flat on my back and don't turn oyver on my side,wore this last night and woke up this morning with a runnny nose and watery eyes.Does anyone else have these problems?Sorry to sound like such a winer,but I would give anything for one solid nights sleep!Thanks for any replies.Iam determined to beat this!!!roll:
