I felt on top of the mountain for about three or four days, and then absolutely crashed for a couple of months.

I went through two CPAP machines (one without, and the last one with heated humidification), three mask (nasal, full face, now nasal pillows), and three increasing pressure changes (now at 15). After going through the trial and error it was worth every minute of it. I have been on for about an year now and would never sleep without my machine. I feel great and believe it has litteraly save my life.

If you are determined to make it work, chances are it will. It is easy to give up, it takes guts to persist.
