welcome to the zoo!

what do you mean by "problems getting cpap to work"? do you mean to power on at all? or are you having difficulty adjusting to treatment? or some specific question other than what you've said?

if it's trouble getting used to it, then please read the following-
viewtopic/t172378/Sticky--Newbies-PLEAS ... STING.html

-which will get you started down the right path.

good luck!

I have received more help on this forum than I have from half a dozen sleep doctors over the past 13 years.
It helps if you ask specific questions.
I happen to be in Southern California.

To the original poster,

Please be more specific.

• Are you unable to start the machine or to put the mask on securely?
• Are you able to run the machine, put the mask on, but are unable to tolerate it?
• Are you able to do all of the above, but are still not getting relief?
• Is there some other problem?
