I am often woken by a very painful, escalating sting from the nasal pillows. Like a wasp or bee sting inside the nose. Usually I tear the device off and rub it till it subsides then reset the nasal pillows and go back to sleep but it is a bad way to be woken and last night it returned with a vengeance the moment I put the mask back on.
My initial assumption was that it was a chemical or bacterial issue due to irregular cleaning but better cleaning routines have made no difference. My second theory was that it is caused by some kind of static or electrical discharge from the Resmed S9 or the climate control hose. (Pressure 12.5 Humidity 5.5)
I haven't been able to find any discussions on this particular subject. Has anyone else had this issue? Have they managed to isolate the cause and ensure that it does not continue to occur? Should I start a deforestation program to eliminate contact points? :O
I am usually indifferent to discomfort but this is acutely, eye-wateringly painful, and it doesn't feel like it's just my imagination, so I would really appreciate some help here.
