help for a newbie

Posted by amy on August 23, 2007 at 06:42:18:

I just got my cpap machine (resmed) on Saturday and Mirage Swift 2 mask. I am only able to use it for about 5 to 6 hours so far. I stll wake up tired. I find that in general, the mask is not bad feeling, except that the strap feels as if it is digging into my face under the cheek bone. I found a very soft tubular material that could be used to put over your toes to cushion them. I slid that over the strap and it has not solved the problem, but has definietely helped.
