Jeff,
Thanks for your response.
My first week or so on CPAP seemed to go very well. Then the nasal blockage started. Humiification (the cold Passover type) didn't seem to help.
The full mask for nose and mouth works in a way, but it leaks - and I get a very dry mouth.
I live in Perth, Western Australia. The weather is about as dry as Arizona.
Maybe I'll have to try the heated humidifier.
Keep in touch
John
