My mother has been using her Trilogy machine for the last three weeks. I think we finally found a mask that works for her. However, she is having some struggles. Any insight or encouragement for the follow concerns would be appreciated.
1. She hates using it at night. She wakes up panicked with it on and asked to have it taken off immediately. She then struggles to fall back asleep. Do the nights get better or has anyone else struggled to stay asleep with this machine?
2. Because the nights have been hard, she is having to get in her time during the day. Does anyone have any suggestions on transitioning from using it during the day to getting in more hours at night?
3. She has had a couple panic attacks while wearing it because she hates the feeling that she cannot remove it because she cannot use her arms. She goes from being okay one minutes to asking for it to be taken off immediately, and then is breathing heavy because of the panic. Anyone else had this feeling?
4. Her nose has been really dry and has had some bloody noses since using the Trilogy. Has anyone else had this problem?
Thank you so much in advance for any insight or encouragement!
