Any recommendation on a CPAP mask for sleep apnea?

Actually, I have to tell you George, I have an appointment this week to see the ENT. I'm going to ask him to perform a somnoplasty based on the fact that I have been diagnosed with severe apnea, I am having severe difficulty wearing the masks and therefore I am not wearing any of them. My mouth is so dry that I can actually feel something dry moving around back there (presumably mu adnoids). I still have my tonisils. I am getting very bad sinus like headaches (CT is normal). Also, while awake, I'm not quite suite sure hoe to describe this, I feel this gurgleling like fluid in the back of my throat. I hope doc says yes to surgery

Keep me posted on how that comes out...the mask drives me up a wall.

George, wanted to let you know that I went to ENT today. He nixed the surgery saying that it is very rarely successful. Damn! However, he did say I had swollen turbenites. (Sounds like something I should be wearing instead of having up my nose!) Anyway, he gave me a sample of Astepro Nasal Spray a couple of spritz in the am and a couple in the pm and a follow up in a month.

Will let you know. Keep me posted if you find out anything good.

I have sleep apnea. I use CPAP machine. I put on the mask before bed. The problem is, at night, I take the mask off when I use the bathroom. I am so tired that I usually forget to put the mask back on. How can I remember to put it on even if I'm tired?
