I use mine every night....will never "like" using it....but am glad I have it. I really wasn't getting sleep at night before and would be tired the next day and have headaches. I took long naps on the weekend to catch up. I notice it now when I don't have the CPAP.....I had an apnea once or twice a minute before. Now it's maybe once per hour.
Yes, it stinks, and I hope they find better solutions to help in the future....but for now I don't mind it too bad and the machines they have now are better than what they had 5 years ago.
