After a quiet weekend of reflection, I laid in bed last night and watched him. He doesnt wear his equipment, because he knows how uncomforting to me it is. I cant help but wonder how much this is hurting him, physically. or how much it will hurt us together in bed. While I realize he is doing a diss...

The other day I was beside myself after having not been able to sleep in my own bed for many nights, and ongoing. My husband talked to the people at the sleep center and they gave me this site when they realized I was having such a hard time. They told me to research it and see if it helps. You peop...

Im the one who had the car accident not him.
His equipment is a Remstar Pro M Series cpap machine and a Flexifit431 full face mask. Any one have any suggestions about if this machine is loud of the mask?

Your suggestion is on point, I am going to go away this weekend and clear my head and see if that works. I talked to him at lunch again about the situation, his answer was to stop the therapy because he doesnt want either one of us changing rooms. I told him he must continue with the therapy, that i...

Im truly sorry you feel that way. I did come here for help with this situation as I apparently am not dealing with it well. Its easy to say get over it, harder to do sometimes when you yourself feel its unsurmountable. I have tried many of the recommendations posted on this board. I didnt just come ...

Of course I am angry. Not at my husband, just at the situation. Its feelings, we all have em, and shouldnt have to defend upon them. I have been judged enough, here and other places. Of course I am trying to be supportive. He loves the mask and machine, he says it makes him sleep better and for that...

This all started when lack of sleep with the treatment. As I stated before, I pushed him to ...

Thank you

I would like to thank everyone for the words of encouragement, and/or the judgements. I get it all the time, I am used to it. As you can see its after 2:30 a.m., and of course I am wide awake at the computer for lack of nothing else to do. Unfortunately this is an update. Things came to a head when ...

Its almost like its all about him. He would never read all about this stuff, he thinks I am making to much out of it. Even though our ...

I appreciate all of your suggestions, however my husband unfortunately is quite adverse to any changes. His answer is like the earlier poster, I just need to get over it. I cant. He is insulted that I am having such a hard time with it.

Your right Krousseau, the last thing I would have expected was for this to bother me this much. As I have said previous, I was the one who made the appointments for him, I was the one who pushed him to do this. Now, it seems I am the one paying for it. I have to leave the room. I have to leave my be...

I realize to you I may sound selfish, however, I just came here looking for helpful suggestions, not being judged by others, I have had enough of that. I have done the sleep aids, the dr said dont do it anymore. I have done the earplugs, and I turn out the lights. It seems that when some cpap users ...
