I used my cpap machine for the first time last night. I am using the nasal mask with a resmed myair with a humidifier Every time I moved, the mask shifted and air shot up to my eyes. Also my nose was wet this morning. I had the humidifier on 4 and turned it down to 3 for tonight. The air was cold as well, so guess the heat element doesn't work well and I am asking my Doctor to order the heated tube. I will also try the small size mask tonight to see if it helps. I just feel sluggish with a dull headache and a scratchy throat. I woke up a few times and tossed and turned. after about 6 hours I finally found a little comfort but I think my headache is from my neck.

I know it will take time to get used to it but wondering what everyone else did to make it more comfortable. If you have any suggestions, I am open to try.

Thanks
