Apneas recurring after 5 months

Posted by MRI on July 31, 2003 at 04:30:52:

I am experiencing a recurrence of apneas and hypoapneas(causing daytime fatigue and sleepiness) 5 months after I started using the Autoset Spirit and Ultra mirage mask(from Resmed
The initial results were very good when I first started using the machine(made me feel like Superman, quite literally overnight).I download the data from the machine and study the apnea events that occured during the night and have found a huge increase for the past three weeks causing all my old symtoms to come back.
I have tried full face masks(which gave the worst results)strapping my mouth tightly to prevent mouth leaks,decongesting sprays but nothing seems to work.

I can't figure out what has caused this turnaround.
Would be grateful for any suggestions\advice\hand holding.
