Not in my case, unfortunately.

Over 2 separate trials of pap therapy: several areas of noticeable/measurable decrease in function and no noticeable areas of improvement. Well, except for the data gathered by the machine, but that's moot when one's well-being takes a nosedive.

But I wasn't suffering from obvious symptoms (night or day).

Yes definitely. I have also found that my levitation powers have improved, leading to me buying a gas mask for my wife for Mother's Day.

Yes, definitely. That was my primary symptom. I'd say I'm back to 80%. Feeling rested is good, but secondary. If I have a bad night, it's the "fuzzy brain" I dislike the most. Yawning I can deal with.

Do you ascribe to CPAP the insight you have that others view you as a loon?
