    My wife did a lot of research and tried different mask configurations and nose pieces and found the right set for her. She has been very compliant and the sleep doctors commend her and are very happy with the results. Compliance is usually low. My aunt on the other hand has tried it but hates it. I wish she would stick with it though. It would help her depression and health in general. My wife hasn’t had a panic attack since she started it

      I didn’t really have any issues with the standard issue nose mask, what I did struggle with at first was the tube, but I hung a sheppad’s hook near my bed to keep the mask elevated away from me.

      That allows me to toss and turn and not deal with the tube in my face.

      I do have to admit, when I first started using it I had a lot of dreams about snakes.

      That is awesome! Talk about a great unplanned for benefit.
