So just got a CPAP a few months ago and love it. I have my first cold though, and have the nasal only mask, it's pretty impossible to wear it while I have a cold and get sleep so I haven't been wearing it.

Any solutions beside changing mask or not being sick?

Sinex, but be careful. Dont use it more than a week. You will get addicted. No lie.

I keep a full mask now just in case. You can get them on Amazon. Your dr wont tell you that...

That's a little long in terms of using nasal decongestants without getting addicted. Get some OTC Flonase and take that in the am, get some OTC Astepro and use that at night. Limit your Afrin or whatever decongestant nasal spray to maybe 5 nights max. Less is more. It doesn't take long at all to get addicted.

Exact same situation. Love Navage Nasal cleaning system as a first line of defense then Afrin if needed. I have found Navage to be much better than a netty pot because it forms a seal and uses suction. The salt in the solution will usually keep me dry enough overnight.
