Insomnia is not unique to you. Many of us had difficulty sleeping because of our apnea to begin with, and then add in trying to sleep with a chunk of plastic strapped to your face blowing air at you, sleep was unbelievably difficult.

Most of us when through this anger, it's part of the grief process--you are grieving over the loss of the healthy person you thought you were until your rude awakening. It's not unusual to feel the way you do. You have two choices here--work through the anger or get stuck in it. Which will it be? D...

I find it Intolerable ! Right now I feel the only place I can start with my New CPAP machine is to jump up and down on it I am told that I can't sell the thing on ebay - People who know me say they appreciate me as a nice calm fellow, nice to be around I have never been one who is susceptible to tem...

Sorry if I Faux-Pas But I thought the place to start would be the thread Titled: "Where A CPAP Newbie Should Start " it seemed obvious to me at the time I finally found the Control Panel and my Profile & entered what I could Please bear with me, I am suffering some confusion due to severe Fatigue a...
