Sleep Apnea and adjusting to a CPAP machine: Tips?

Have you discussed raising the pressure? Mine is set at 12. What kind of mask do you have, and have you tried other types? Are you tired during the day, or wake up frequently. I'm wondering if your sleep study showed many non-breathing events. Perhaps you need a different treatment, such as for chronic fatigue syndrome. Of course, I don't know what your diagnosis was, or the reason you were prescribed a CPAP. There are so many things to consider.

I desperately need to use my CPAP. HOWEVER, I don't wear it because when I did, I actually don't think I got enough air. I ripped it off in the middle of the night and never put it back on again. I had a smart alec man deliver it and he acted like it was killing him to even show it to me. I never called him back even though I paid big bucks for the machine. I know I should have called and reported him but I have never been one to complain to a company. Resmed is the name of the machine. It is still like new, just sitting in a large container in my bedroom taking up valuable space. I need it badly but I need a person who would help not hinder. I choke and wake myself up during the night every night. I am happy to hear of people having such good experiences. Maybe I will contact the company and ask for another person to help me. My pressure was set at six and that was not enough. I don't even know how to change it.
