It's been a long time since I've been on this site. I got so frustrated w/ my slow and unsteady improvements on cpap that I sat back for awhile and used by cpap every single night and observed myself and tried everything I could think of to improve my mental and physical function. I moved to CA and ...

OH YEAH! I was. Same thoughts most of you had. There really is a reason I can only sit around in a fog waiting to die of old age. I was put on cpap 3/2008, with some improvement.

Thanks for alerting us Oregonians.

Yes, I too found some disturbing side effects of cpap therapy. I have been on it since Feb 26, 2007 and have been dealing w/ outbursts of anger and up and down emotions that remind me of my early teenage years. I wasn't prepared for this and hope it will even out in time as I get more used to my "ne...

Kathy, Congratulations and so good of you to share with the rest of us your good news. As rested gal said: "You do such a great job with encouragement and good advice for new cpap users." You do. Thanks from a new cpap user. I don't have any feedback yet on my sleep data - but I am sleeping! and dre...

Thanks for all the information, encouragement and friendship. I'm learning a lot from you folks. Didn't know my nasal pillow was one of the noisiest masks around - darn !
