Switching girlfriends didn't solve the problem, huh?
Never worked for any of my problems, either ...
Always seems like a good idea at the time... LOL

I can tell you from experience that you will want to throw the mask and the machine across the room or probably out the window. Do not do it! Stick with it. I can tell you for sur that Sleep Apnea is a killer and you have just saved your own life. Good luck and the next best thing you have done is to join this forum there are a lot of great people here and there is wealth of information to be had here. Do not be afraid to ask a question the only stupid question is the question that is not asked.
Fortunately I seem to be tolerating it fairly easily, no urge to break out a hammer or anything. Probably partially because my geeky nature includes a love of gadgets, and that's kind of how I see my CPAP (not meant to understate the importance of the device, of course). It also helps that I saw an immediate drastic improvement on how I felt. The only problem I'm having so far is that it takes me a little longer to get to sleep initially, but that should pass once the newness wears off. I did have bad mask lines the first morning, but I apparently was a little over-zealous in tightening the gear. Probably a common rookie move.

No worries there, I always have a metric ton of salt in reserve when I'm on any forum, or the internet in general for that matter.
