Hello all... my husband has been on a bipap mach. since early Feb. this year. We have had nothing but troubles with the masks. The generic mask that they gave us at first pinched a nerve in the side of his nose...he would wake up to the painful sensation of his upper lip being numb. They gave us a refit...he next got a 'gel mask.' At first this seemed to be the answer. Shortly after we started using this one he started having problems with the bridge of his nose. We have tried to re-adjust the mask, shift the mask. and 'mole skin' on the mask. Nothing we try seems to be helping. We even tried a round cosmetic pad under the bridge portion of the mask (cut down in size and whole). He now has a blood blister forming on the bridge of his nose...I'm out if ideas....he has to wear the mask ..but I can't seem to find a way to stop the pain. This is soooo frustrating for both of us. He's in pain and I can't seem to find anything to help him.
