It is so great to see that persistence pays off. For me, it was not so hard but it has to be frustrating to get that new xPAP and all the paraphernalia and then:
WHAM! BAM! IT IS HARDER TO SLEEP THAN EVER!!
Y'all hang in there, and keep up the good fight. It does get better. There is so much variety in masks/interfaces and machines, as well as other accessories.
Encouragement abounds on the forum, too.
