As for the treatment and diagnosis - the jist of it is that there are other 'hidden' things in your environment...

To Those that have suffered through this after CPAP /Bi PAP therapy: What have found are possible root causes? What have you done going forward to overcome this? There have been many a time that I wake up after what seems is a restful night with my Bi PAP and I have BRAIN FOG. The symptoms are like...

The cause may be your adrenal glands and their myriad of functions. After a year of compliance my husband is still unable to feel refreshed, his stress levels are out of control and he cannot work or even do anything for more then a couple hours. His moods are still all over the place and he still r...

I am glad to hear you slept. I was just composing a rather long pick you up speach to try and help you stick with it. I was going to employ a rather strong tactic, I'm glad I don't have to.

If you hear anything from another source, please share! Liam, who handles stress really ea... GET OFF MY CASE! (ahem) easily, wit...

I will be the first to agree with a strong correlation between prolonged sleep apnea and depression, especially where there is any family history of drepression or other mood disorders.

WOW - thanks for that, it was great. I have never heard that before. In my studies I have come across info that brain damag may result from OSA, but no one ever expected it to cause it...

only thing i know for sure about this is once your on the cpap your no longer being prevented from loosing weight by your body.
