DON'T GIVE UP YET!

Let your doctor know that you want a prescription for a bi-pap. This will blow air at your pressure of 11 (or whatever) and decrease on your exhalation. This should be a lot more comfortable for you.

Look on the CPAP forum in regards to different and more comfortable masks. Ask questions. You may also want to look into an APAP. Do some internet research. I think that a Bi-Pap would definitely help your problem.
