Breathing is important! Who would have guessed? :D

I wore a CPAP for years, then lost a bunch of weight and now I don’t even need it!

Im only a few months in to my CPAP treatment for sleep apnoea and its been shocking to realize just how much stress my body has been under for my whole life. The first few weeks were crazy with mood swings of black depression and manic energy bursts, but it is slowly evening out and now im actually feeling rested after sleep. I'm early forties, never energetic or sporty though not overweight. Just unable to do alot physically. Now for the first time i am exercising on my own impetus and i feel i might make it past my fifties. Doc said my overnight oxygen levels were so low i would have been hospitalised in any other circumstance, but all i knew was that i was apparently a bad snorer. It has been a few months of pain but my god the benefit is real in my case.

I wish my CPAP did anything for me. I thought maybe it would help me sleep but I'm still tired all the time, though maybe it would help my back but now I contort more to keep it on when I'm rolling around.

The only benefit that is tangible is my wife sleeps better because I snore less.

CPAP, the breathing apparatus?

I'm really glad you got that much out of yours because I fucking hate mine. At least it works for someone.

Wait until you figure out reading in bed with your jaw resting on your pillow because you got old and started wearing glasses causes your TMJ pain

I’ve been considering going to a sleep clinic. But a part of me is thinking of just buying a CPAP and seeing if it helps. Cheaper and I don’t have to go anywhere.

First I read "My CRAP." Glad your pain is gone.

I've been so happy my husband got a cpap. He's been so much more rested with it it's amazing.

And I no longer have to shove him a dozen times a night to get him to stop snoring so I can also get some sleep lol.

I have a doctor's note to go do a test for a CPAP. I should get to it.
