How did you get used to CPAP?

@mermaid7272 I hear you! I must say that I continued with the CPAP and went to BIPAP with oxygen which was better for me. I would encourage you to find a doctor who will listen to you. I had to do so. My medical device store has been great. Their resupply branch is not. That means I have to drive to St. George from where I live in hurricane to get the store to do the contact work for the restore. Maybe you can find a medical device store that will mail your needs. I would encourage you to continue. There should be a work around for you. I am finally getting sleep and feel it has been helpful in many areas I thought was due to aging. I am 82. But I now longer have what I dubbed old lady drip. It was constant, but now no longer have it. Other bodily functions have improved. I no longer have to make bathroom runs at night. It took me almost two years to get here, but I am happy I stuck with it.
Wishing you success in whatever you decide. And, once again, I am so sorry you have had bad service from providers.

@dalebout123 --- Thanks for reply & support! I don't mean to sound negative, but I have way too many medical issues to deal with. The night time problems are the straw that broke the camel's back.
I don't know what a "BIPAP" might be, is it another mask & machine?
The sleep supply store refused to let me try any masks on, they said that was a government law, then lied to my doctor about several issues. The problems go on and on----- that's when I said enough.
