Well I can't tell you all how happy I was to find this group.  I am a noob to the whole regime of apnea.  After being goaded for years by a PA to get a study done finally a Pullmanist convinced me and bingo!  I have not been using CPAP and o2 for a week yet and really haven't noticed anything dramatic other than serious nose itching in the night and marks on my face.  Anyway......I'll be around and in chat for sure.....Jean

Welcome Jean!

I'm kinda new too..... 2 months but am working out the bugs. I do feel better though. I hope it's smooth sailing for you! Do you have a humidifier? That helps with nose itching. At first, I left mine cool but since I decided to try and warm it up a bit, my nose isn't cold in the morning and I sleep better. As for the marks on the face.... if you find a cure, I'd bottle it

You can't have everything. Where would you put it?

Thanks for the welcome auntnene.  I do have a humidifier and it is on warm.  Last night I guess it was only twice I scratched....LOL  It is the outside of my nose not inside.  I look forward to seeing you in chat sometime.  Kind of wish it was an all day thing.

Hello Jean


Sometimes the marks on your face may be caused by your mask being too tight.If it continues to be a problem there is a product that acts as a cushion for your straps that will help.good luck

Hi Zen.  It's not the straps causing the marks it is the mask itself and if I have it any looser I have leaks.  They go away eventually.
