Hi everybody! I've had my CPAP machine since December of 2017 (so slightly over 2 years) and I'm having issues tolerating it. The overall feeling has gone from feeling like someone is enthusiastically trying to choke me to feeling like they are doing it half-heartedly. The longest I can tolerate it after two years is about 20 minutes and that takes considerable effort. At this point if you can name a mask, I've probably tried it (in every size available too!) I've done roughly 5 sleep studies at this point and the highest number of events I've gotten so far (that I can remember) is about 32/hour. Also, I've never actually been able to sleep through one of these tests- at the end of the last one I got so bored staring at the ceiling I left about 5 hours in (stayed awake for 3 days continuously to prepare for that one in the hopes I could actually fall asleep for the test.) Any ideas as to what I could do? My doctor says "I'm not trying hard enough". I've tried wearing while awake but that doesn't seem to help. Any ideas would be great.
