Re: 4 weeks, no change

Thank you. I've tried and tried but my "View" button tab doesn't work. I'm going to uninstall and reinstall the program and try again.

Re: 4 weeks, no change

I got sleepyhead last night. I haven't figured out how to post my data. Will try to figure it out after work.

4 weeks, no change

I've been using my machine faithfully and getting mostly 100% grades on MyAir. 98% was my lowest score twice in 4 weeks. I sleep like a log now but I'm still completely stressed out and possibly even meaner than before. I thought this was going to help my stress and depression. Help please.

Chest congestion = more apneas?

I have a cold and chest congestion. Last night I had 10.8 AHI while wearing my mask. Is it normal to have more apneas when you have chest congestion even though your mask is on and fitting properly?

Re: Rage, Depression - Changes with CPAP?

I've recently started seeing a therapist. We're working on changing my negative thoughts. It's funny, I used to be so happy and positive thinking. I think I got too tired and stressed that my brain gave up. Hopefully this will turn around with lots of restful sleep and therapy.

Re: Rage, Depression - Changes with CPAP?

I'm trying to do a journal on my computer. I realized that I don't know how to do one. Can someone help me get started?

Re: Rage, Depression - Changes with CPAP?

Thank you for the hug! I've actually slept soundly, all night, for the past 2.5 weeks. This is the first time in many years. My dad is a whole new person with his CPAP but he said he thinks it was about a month until he started feeling better. I'm glad I posted here because I had expected to feel be...

Re: Rage, Depression - Changes with CPAP?

What great things to ponder! I'm so glad to hear that I have just started this journey. I thought it would be a miracle cure. Patience! And a journal. I wonder if I did become numb over the years. I'm such a different person than I used to be. I'd almost given up but now I'm starting to see what's a...

Re: Rage, Depression - Changes with CPAP?

I have gotten to the point of zero tolerance and patience. My dad said CPAP therapy changed his whole outlook. Maybe I just need more time and restful sleep before I notice a change.

Rage, Depression - Changes with CPAP?

I have severe SA. Started CPAP 2.5 wks ago. Pressure is 20. I don't feel any relief from my rage and depression I fell into over the past few years of not sleeping. Does it get better??? (I sleep like a rock now since Day 1 of CPAP)

Re: New - Introduction

I'm so excited to sleep well again tonight. The more good nights' sleep I get, the more normal I'll start to feel. It's been so many years. Even my attitude is better today than it's been in months.

Re: New - Introduction

1st night - I slept 11.5 hours! My events were 103/hr in my sleep study and last night was 3.3/hr!!! Everything worked great. I didn't take the mask off. I didn't wake up once to go to the bathroom. Today my chest feels open and full. My sinuses are completely clear for the first time in years. Over...

Re: New - Introduction

I got my machine and mask this morning. I got an AirSense 10 Autoset and a Quattro Full Face Mask. That's what my insurance would pay for. Tonight will be my first night trying it. Stay tuned
