Oh yeah. That one night of CPAP from my sleep study was a revelation to me. The month and a half in between then and finally coming home with my own was awful. When I thought the shortness of breath I had been experiencing was normal, it didn't bother me as much. Once I knew how hard it was to breathe, I was pretty much useless because I knew the difference and I didn't like it.

On the immediate reaction to the machine, well, the techs did say I was a good candidate for CPAP. My body aches haven't gone away yet, but some of those are due to muscles shortening because I was too tired to use them much.
