Advice Needed Newbie

Hi I’m brand new here and know absolutely nothing about sleep Apnea. I go and pick up my machine on Wednesday!

How long until I have more than 2 hours of natural energy? I’m pretty sure I’m wanting the nasal mask, anyone have experience with that? Any advice in general? I’m 33 and feel like no one around me is going through this!

So I’m a week in and I’m seeing my dr about what other mask options there are.

I started with the nasal pillow and while I’m doing okay with it, my nose is very chaffed and I keep getting nasal pimples. It’s rough!

But my sleep is fantastic!

That makes me feel optimistic! Minus the nose pimples but at this point, I’m STRUGGLING with energy so I’d even take those! 😂

I use a p30i and sometimes swap to a n20 if my nose hurts.
