My friend J can't adjust to bipap...Facemask just doesn't work, too drying at first then too much humidity, feels like he is going to choke. Didn't like nasal pillow the first 15 minutes of trial, and no one has tried plain nasal mask...No one is even encouraging him to try the nasal routes again at all, though the full face mask is absolutely a failure. Anyone else had problems like this? Are some people unable to use bipap at all? What then? I'm really worried. He has a sleep study coming up, but what good will that do if he won't use the machine anyway?
Thanks,
Pam
