New user...how long does it take to feel results from a CPAP

Post by BrendaB » Thu Feb 03, 2005 9:43 am

I was reading some of the postings with people talking about the discomfort of their masks. I have one that very much resembles the same kind of tubes used when one receives oxygen. No mask over my nose pressing on my face. It's really not uncomfortable at all. I would recommend this to anyone, it's called Nasalaire I believe. That is not my problem with it. I've had it for about 2 months now and really have not noticed much of a difference in how I've been feeling. I rarely have a day when I don't take any Provigil or Ritalin or just fall asleep in the late afternoon- sometimes even after taking the meds. I guess I was hoping or expecting to have seen a difference by now. I wear it faithfully, usually all night long because discomfort is not an issue, it's not difficult to keep it on. I was just wondering if anyone else took this long to feel the results....

No, It didn't take me long at all. After the first night I felt a difference. Although I do not have the nasal device you describe, I have a regular nasal mask and a resperonincs machine.
