Follow-Up:
I have worn a CPAP mask for a year now. At first I felt like I was suffocating or drowning, but after a few weeks I got so used to it that now, I can't sleep without it. I went to Phila. in Sept for 6 days vacation and carried it on the plane(don't put it in baggage!) All I can say is try a few weeks and you'll hardly know you have it on...
