Disappointed in cpap (uncommon down sides)

[Froro]

I figured after a year and a bit of cpap my golf game would have improved.

Humph.... I think I want my money back.

Can I just say I'm thrilled that I'm alive and breathing, and sleeping the way a human is supposed to.....even if my golf game still sucks. I do however have the energy to take lessons. :woot:

Just wanted to give a quick hi to everyone. I hope all are well. I'm kicking around but not posting much. No time. Running like a loon after my kids, husband, and actually started having my own life.

I also need to point out that prior to cpap my mother in law never bothered me. I'd be half asleep while she yammered away from the moment she woke up until she fell asleep and I pretty much was in so much of a fog I didn't pay attention.

Now? dang.....I just spent the longest 12 days of my life aware of how friggen much she talks...nonstop...literally from dawn to dusk. She was exhausting!!! She didn't even stop when I'd leave the room, just kept on yakking away to the air. I would like to selectively have my fog back when my MIL visits okay? just without all those other negative side effects of OSA

Could you golf before you started cpap? Really?

In respect to your golf game.....Maybe you need more practice???
Now pertaining to the Mother in Law.......Just ignore her!!!! I always did, maybe that's why, my wife (SWMbO) bought a Big Cast Iron Skillet ?

[Froro]

Cast iron skillet huh? For use on said MIL?

I got my revenge last night and made my husband talk to his mother when she called. He claimed it was cruel and unusual punishment.

Re my golf game? Perhaps I wrote too soon. I had a killer round today on Canada's highest rated course (for difficulty). Not bad for my first time on that course. I texted my instructor yesterday that I might have to have him come rescue me if I was blowing it. No rescue needed. He is going to be so proud of me. I was even bright eyed and bushy tailed at 6 am to get there in time for my early tee off. Mind you....after 5 hours on the course in 109F temp, I forgot my purse at the club. Was it sleep deprivation? Nah...probably that beer I chugged rather quickly after the round. (I can't remember the last time I had a beer taste so delisiously wonderful).

You know it's hot out when you go into the hot tub (set at 103) and it's refreshing.

I wonder if the whole cpap thing helps with heat tolerance. I've never been able to handle temps this hot. Back end of last summer (after 4 months of cpap) and so far this summer the heat hasn't bothered me at all.

I've noticed I'm better able to tolerate heat since I started CPAP. As long as the air's moving, anyway. For years, I'd get overheated incredibly quickly, and then it took hours for me feel comfy again. Now I don't overheat nearly as fast, and it's easier to cool off. No idea why CPAP helps this, but it seems to be true!

[Janknitz]

We don't have AC, and I'm using the outflow vent on my mask as a personal AC. It helps!

Loved the MIL rant! I have a wonderful MIL, but my mom and your MIL sound like they were cut from the same cloth.

I went to college 2 time zones east of where my parents lived, back in the days when landline phone calls were cheaper after 11 p.m. and calling long distance was considered an extravagance. My mom used to wait until 11 p.m. her time to call--1 a.m. where I was. Her theory was that college kids never sleep anyway. WRONG! I'd wake up on the phone mid-conversation with my mom going on and on a mile a minute. Only her frugality made these calls relatively short.

It isn't helping me. I have both airconditioners going full blast and I told the dog to use the papers. Montreal is so hot humid and smoggy I am having trouble breathing. I had an interview with a head hunter this morning, took a taxi there and back and explained that though I had "power suits" I wasn't wearing wool in this heat.

Thank you all you guys down south but you can take your heat and humidity back any time now. In your terms it is 91 feels like 106 with no wind - for us that is a red banner heat and humidity warning. The sky is grey brownish colour near the horizon.
