Unfortunately, there are far too many that DON'T.....and have no idea why or how to correct their problems. Far too many give up for various reasons.....lousy mask, no humidification, wrong machine settings, etc., etc.

I totally agree, I was very uncomfortable until my machine was changed to a APAP (suffered from aerophagia), mask was switched (I was very uncomfortable). Software helped me understand my settings. Changes were made to improve titration.
