A Silly Question

Post by OceanGoingGal » Fri Apr 03, 2009 12:23 am

For many years have suffered with a numbness in the bottoms of my feet. Lately I have noticed that my feet have had more feeling in them. Could this be related o c-pap therapy?

Yes, definitely! It's the extra oxygen carried by the air being pumped into your system (responsible in my case for the stopping of my hair beginning to thin in front). It's kinda cool, isn't it!

I used to have numbness in my lower arms and hands -- after being diagnosed and treatment I no longer have that.

Laura,

Nice to see you again. Great picture! You wouldn't be diabetic, would you? CPAP therapy is helping some of our members lower their need for medication.

Hi Bev, Nice seeing you too. No I am not diabetic. I sure am loving what c-pap is doing for me. I feel so good lately. I was discouraged at first because I could not see a big difference right away. slowly I began to realise the changes. Life is good!
