Sorry for all you guys are going through. I almost chucked my CPAP and I just got it a week ago!!
I dont have a mask tho it wouldve been small. Because of my titration was only a 7 I could get away with the nose pillow which is plastic nose thingies that you place in your nostrils with straps holding it on.
ITS SILENT!! Only when I moved, the air would hiss and leak out and keep me awake@!!! Argh!!!!
But I adjusted the strap on top of my head and whalla... sssshhhhoosh quiet!!!
Also, another solution was suggested by the respitory therapist who hooked me up. YOu dont have to have it on ALL night if you dont want to. So.. because I was having troubled sleeping with it, I would wear it as I was watching TV, then as I fell asleep but when it awakened me or bothered me, I took it off.
Now I use it most of the night as its quiet now. IF I want to turn onto my stomach I take it off for awhile.
BUT its heavenly to feel the AIR and breathe again. I had no idea how much I dont breathe. IN fact I stop breathing for seconds during the DAY time as well.
Just a suggestion. Not sure if its ok to do this.
Good luck, Jan
