Thanks for the caring words moonstar, I really apprecaite it, I know you're having trouble with the machine. I don't have a sweating issue most of the time, but i have woken up in a sweat usually on the nights I haven't been using it, like when I have taken it off. I woke up a little sweaty, I think because I had the comforter over my shoulder and it was a little warm in the apartment.

But I put it back on for awhile and all seemed to be well until my son woke me up-LOL-hehehehe, but maybe you're right, that the strap wouldn't help you. I depend on it to be able to breathe through my nose, but if you 've got a full mask you should be getting better results, or so I would think. I think it took me about a month before I got real used to using it so hang in there, I hope it gets better for you soon moonstar.
