I feel terrible!

How long does this misery last? I got my CPAP January 20 and I make myself use it every night. Yes, I've gone through half a dozen masks. None of them leaked really bad except the nasal mask they gave me first. The air blew through my mouth all night. After we got that straightened out I just fuss with them all night. Little leaks, rushing air and this thing covering my whole face. I liked the Hybrid with the nose pillows but finally settled on the Mirage Quattro because it felt more secure. They all hurt and leave marks. I looked at an add for a Zzz-mask but the tool for finding the right size told me they couldn't fit me. (Odd, I don't really have a different kind of face from anyone else.) I haven't had a decent night's sleep yet. I wake up at 2:30 and usually stay awake for at least 2 hours. I am on sleep meds, clonazepam and Ambien. Yes, I know I have to get off the clonazepam but that will take some time. In 2002 I was diagnosed with Chronic Fatigue Syndrome but I'd like to think now that it was caused by the SA. I feel worse now than before I started. Is this normal. I really need a pep talk. Has anyone else out there had CFS? Or if you were really, really fatigued did it finally get better? Just got up and two hours later I'm dead on my feet! How long do most people (of those who use their CPAPs) take to start feeling better?
