Not yet but still hopefull. It's more like going into a torture chamber. After two weeks of trying different masks and still not finding one that is comfortable that doesn't leak I'M getting by on about 4 hrs of fragmented sleep, the leaking is worse when trying to sleep on my side and I find it difficult to sleep on my back. I use nasal pillows as I have cartlidge damage in my nose and nasal masks don't work. It seems alright in my providers office but after the lights go out everything changes. I have RLS as well so probably move around a lot. The hose seems to drag on the nasal pillows when I move, in spite of trying to anchor to my bed post etc. I envy you, if you are female which mask do you use? I have exhausted my providers products and am on the last one, and trying to modify, adjust, tweak or otherwise make it work as there is nowhere else to go from here.
