How to reduce my events while using my Cpap

The mask I have is one that covers my mouth and has nasal pillows that contact the nostrils. I have another that covers the mouth and the nose.
"Full face" seems to be an imprecise term.
Both of mine are considered "full face" masks, I've seen "total face" masks that do indeed cover the eyes (I'd hate that, myself).
I have no answers for our stuffy/runny nose situation - after my sinus infection I was directed to stay away from decongestants and antihistamines. Fiddling with CPAP temperature and humidity levels haven't done a thing for me.

My mask goes against the bottom of the nose and over the mouth and the hose hooks into the headgear on top of your head. If I pinch the tip of my nose up and down I can breathe fine so he tried the balloon with no luck so he says only thing to do is move the septum. Maybe one of these days we will get some answers.
