... nose is running like a tap today :(

Been on CPAP for the past couple of months using a full face mask, this has caused no end of problems with blisters on the bridge of my nose which I just can't seem to get rid of, I haven't been using the for about a week trying to help clear them up they're getting better but it's taking too long.

I had an appointment with my consultant about a fortnight ago, and he suggested nasal pillows. I brought them home and tried them for about 2 mins, sneezed for like and hour after and never bothered with them.

I decided last night to try them again. Today has been unbelieveable, how the bloody hell can so much crap come out of your nose when you don't have a cold. If it lasted an hour after waking, I'd be fine with that but all day!!

The technician mentioned nasal sprays might help but never actually mentioned any names ( Vicks? Beconase? )

If it wasn't for the blisters I'd be happy with the full face mask, using it I get about 8 hours solid sleep a night, even the consultant was impressed with that figure.

So, any ideas on either something to sort out the blisters or something to sort out the runny nose?
