I only just got a CPAP, which I do desperately need, but I feel like the whole thing is fighting me. All of the masks I have hurt when I try to wear them, and if I loosen them, then I lose the seal and have air leaks blasting into my eyes and waking me up.

I know one of the masks is too big, but it was free and I can't turn down a free $150 CPAP mask. How do y'all deal with the pain? Or is my only choice to just keep trying masks until I find one that I don't hate? And doesn't hurt like hell.

EDIT: Thank you guys so so SO much. All the tips, support, and knowledge have been really helpful and very reassuring. I knew my fibro community would have my back 🥹 Everything and anything is deeply appreciated.
