Hi Lisa @lisalucier -- Thanks for posting...I was actually thinking about posting an update as I am used to the CPAP and the AHI has gotten fairly consistent with a few bumps in the road. I have been CPAP mask shopping again but haven't decided. The one I have is the ResMed AirFit F20 full face mask and I use a cloth comfort cover (https://cpapcomfortcover.com/fits-airfit-and-airtouch-f20-full-face-mask/) which really helps. Even with the comfort cover I have nights where I feel claustrophobic and still get a sore spot on the top of my nose.

I can generally tell when I go to bed at night whether it's going to be a good night or a so-so night. Mainly it's from how I can breath through my nose with my mouth closed. If it's not really clear and my right nostril seems plugged it's not looking good. When it's like this it doesn't matter what I do - blow my nose, try to irrigate it, etc, nothing works to make it open up. I found out when I was first diagnosed that I have a deviated septum and I had asked the doctor about it but he didn't think it would make any difference as to the obstructive sleep apnea. Right now I'm thinking maybe it will but don't know if it's worth getting it fixed. I was going to discuss with my doctor but need to set up another appointment with him.

Anyone out there with a deviated septum that has had it fixed? Did it make a difference using your CPAP?
