Three Weeks In & I Am Making Progress!

Hi Everybody,

Thank you all - SO MUCH - for all the encouragement you've offered me and for letting me whine when I've needed to.

Tomorrow will make 3 weeks that I've been on CPAP therapy and I am seeing improvement. I am so happy! Here's what I'm seeing at this point:
- - a definite increase in my energy level
- - a clearer head when I wake up
- - an improvement in my overall mood
- - the ability to function on 8 hours sleep (I told my husband going in that this was my goal. Prior to CPAP, I had to have at least 9 hours to be able to function at all and 10 hours to be able to function decently).
- - the ability to recover from a bad night's sleep with just one night of good sleep. In the past, I've always needed two good night's sleep to recover from one bad night. Too bad CPAP doesn't also cure insomnia, right?
- - my husband thinks he sees a little improvement in my concentration/mentation. I'm not convinced of that yet, but am hopeful it will happen soon.

Thanks again for everything. I feel truly blessed to have found you guys!

Great news Millich! Congrats!!!

Thanks Muse! Your support has meant more to me than I can tell you.

Well done, you have a great attitude and with that we can move mountains.

Only 3 weeks and feeling better already!!!! Keep up the good work!

Good news, Millich! Welcome back...to yourself!

Thank you Pugsy, SleepyT, and BDP! I really appreciate your help & support!

CONGRATULATIONS!

Isn't it nice to see a difference that quickly? I noticed a difference right away. Still improving slowly. Your memory will probably get better down the road. I'm six months in and my wife definitely notices a difference in my memory, humor, etc. I can even function on 5-6 hours of sleep if I have to, something unheard of before.

Tattooyu, I'm glad things are improving for you, too!

Millich, it makes me happy to see posts like yours. I can remember writing my first good progress report on my husband and receiving so many good wishes. The support here is what keeps us all going. Great news, keep it up. Dori

Thanks, Dori! You are right - the support here is amazing.

It's great to see a positive post. I'm 2 weeks in and struggling a bit, but hoping for better nights and days ahead. Congratulations to you and thanks for posting your success. It helps keep me going!

Better days/nights are ahead, Lynda. It's worth the struggle.

I just picked up my bipap yesterday and slept with it the first time last night. Like you, I am determined to have a positive attitude about this whole thing. I really need to read posts like yours to encourage me. Hopefully in 3 weeks I can post the same things!

LisaEileen - I wish you the best of luck with your CPAP journey! Keep us posted on how you are doing.
