My body is working again

Post by imsotired » Sat Oct 21, 2006 9:15 pm

I have been on cpap for a little over 2 months now. When I wasn't breathing at night my hair was brittle, my skin was dry, I even stopped ovulating. This past month my hair is soft and shiny, my skin isn't so dry - I need to wash it now before bedtime so I get a good initial seal, and I actually ovulated on my own this past month. (I know tmi. ) So on top of being awake all day now and feeling alive it seems all of my body's systems are functioning better. I know my oxygen desaturations were bad so maybe just getting more oygen at night is correcting things. I just wanted to give a general update.

Now that you're feeling great and have lots of energy-the question is-what to do with all those eggs???
