I feel like I have Super Powers

Post by SleepyJohn43 » Thu Apr 24, 2014 3:37 pm

I'm at the airport killing time before my flight home and was just reflecting on my client visit, and contrasting the trip that I took the week before I got my machine.

4/7/14 trip was terrible. I felt like I was mad of lead. I felt dumb; hunting for words, couldn't grasp complex concepts, couldn't read well, it was a a real fight to keep my eyes open.

Got my machine 4/15/14 and literally felt a difference the next day. Each day since seems to get better and better.

This week, at a different client, I was a completely different person. Bright, positive, energetic, in charge, leading the way... I was having to slow myself down to give everyone else a chance to process and catch up to what I was thinking. Never even came close to nodding off. I feel like a new man and I'm loving it!

At the end of the day, everyone in the room seemed worn out. I still felt like I had another gear.

I haven't actually tried to use my X-ray vision or leap tall buildings, but I almost feel like I could.

CPAP is changing my life.

Always great to hear a success story - especially so early on. Maybe you could copy this into the thread at the top of the page with the other success stories.

That's great. I'm having some trouble with getting anxious when I go to sleep. I feel like I want to yawn a lot and I can't always get a satisfying yawn (anxiety?).

I think it's because I haven't embraced it yet. I want to so I can either get on with feeling better, losing weight and maybe being cured, or, if I am not cured, enjoy better health and energy.

Gotta get off this pity party. and accept it.

Only a week? I am pea green with envy....I think I am going to send my aliens friends over to your house to mess with you. Take away some of those super powers.

Just kidding...congratulations. I am happy you are able to see improvement so early.
