Even if your CPAP doesn't cause you to feel less tired, do you still keep on using it anyway?

Hopefully, you meant past tense. If you snore with CPAP, your machine settings are not correct.

In my case, no. After years of trying and retrying, dozens of masks and thousands of dollars, I finally gave up on Cpap (for now at least). I got tired of waking up feeling worse than I did before starting therapy. I may try again at some point in the future if medical/technological advances are made hence why I still check-in here on occasion.

I’m not suggesting anyone else do this nor claiming it’s healthy in any way. Just addressing the ops’ question based on my personal experience. It’s different for everyone.

Yes, I meant to use past tense.

Nah, it's like being an alcoholic. You still snore - when you don't use CPAP. ;-)
