Trying again tonight
After being sick for the past week, I am going to try the cpap again tonight. I got sick 2 days into starting my treatment. My chin-up strips have arrived so will try those too with the ResMed nasal pillows mask-the one made for women. Wish me luck-I really want this to work as I have been diagnosed with severe OSA (score of 37).

Good luck Carolyn. I started CPAP about 5 ish weeks ago and thankfully haven't been sick during that period. Despite having both the regular and swine flu shots, I really "feel" something coming on....starting to get congested etc. Am hoping that I don't get so congested that I can't use my cpap...am using the same nasal pillows are you are.
Wishing you luck and glad that you are feeling better.

Hope you have success and are able to get a good night's sleep. It isn't any fun when you are sick.
It does get easier, although it takes time.
I don't know about you, but I want things yesterday and am not very patient. Remember a baby doesn't learn to walk in a day, so be good to yourself, pamper yourself some, and know that it will get better.
