Just out of curiosity, what it STeve's pressure set at? I strongly recommend getting a heated humidifier attachment for anyone using a cpap machine, especially at high pressure. Having your sinuses dried out sucks, and if you already have sinus issues (allergies), it's even worse. OTOH, if you keep your equipment properly cleaned and use good distilled water, you may find your allergy problems somewhat lessened, since the air through a CPAP is filtered. For sleeping better now, a humidifier may help (again, filtered air), as will a thorough cleaning of your home. Allergies make things in your breathing passages swell, which doesn't help anything. :) Also, I don't know if this will help you at all, but if you're desperate, I find that without my machine, I sleep better sitting up most of the way, like in a recliner or a couch. ymmv. I also had a septoplasty, and I may yet have my uvula and tonsils reduced, though probably not removed altogether.
