I think I found out the difference between nose pillows and full face masks. Remember when I said my PT told me full face masks are better with a Bi-Pap?
So: my machine is set for 12 inspiration and 6 expiration. I actually use 15 inspiration and 12 expiration when I am using the full face mask. With the nose pillows, the numbers go down to 9 inspiration and 6 expiration.
I think this means I should use the full face mask. It is irritating but I do feel better overall when I use it.
