Just wanted to tell people and newbies that are having problems:
I can now feel my brain slowly healing with CPAP. It is a slow process and I am working out other problems (like when I wake up colors look white and washed out??) but my mind is becoming slowly more efficient (knock on wood). Racing thoughts that I am aware of are dropping back from conscious to sub-conscious state and the constant panic is subsiding. Less yawning in the day.
Keep your treatment up too if you were thinking of stopping. It will help you - even if your treatment is not optimal.
My wife is taking this alot more seriously too - the whole time her attitude was, there is nothing wrong with you sleep apnea is not a real condition. Now she adjusts my mask in the night if it starts to leak (my mask leaks like a siv but the AHI is still down at 1.5 according to the machine)

After nearly 2 years of therapy, my memory is better, my concentration has improved; and my disposition is much better.

Thanks, Matty. After 90 days of treatment I'm noticeably better in the cognitive department and still improving slowly.

Re: I can 'feel' my brain slowly healing on CPAP
It can be really subtle. Just slight shifts and mood changes at first. Then one day when you are trying to do something difficult you suddenly realize that is isn't as difficult as you expected and you look back and see all the tiny little signs. The problem is that the problem is in the organ that is doing the sensing.Starlette wrote:That's awesome news Matty! So happy your therapy is working for you
