On Friday I went for my first ever mask fitting session. I was excited!
Nice lady... took one look at me and said you can't use a face mask because the bridge of your nose is too high and you will always get leaks or have to have it tightened so tight you will get sores on your nose.
She wouldn't even give any a try. She said that the only thing I could use was nasal pillows and that the one I had was far better than the one they have in the NHS stock.
I came away feeling that ok, I will give the nasal pillow another try and last night spend half an hour trying to get them not to leak or hurt. Eventually I gave up and put on the Mirage quattro and even though my face looks like some kind of train accident this morning I did at least get it to not leak for most of the night.
Now my quest is to fnd a nasal pillow mask with the holes in the right place.
OMG, anyone would think I had a big hooter after reading this and it is not so!
Anyone have any suggestions?
