I was finally able to get may new/used machine setup for me on Friday. Got that done and picked up my Swift II nasal mask and hose. So I am all set. Friday night was the first night on the machine, I slept in a recliner that night because I was too tired to crawl upstairs. Anyway slept all night with mask on except for one point for about 30 min. The mask came off and my finace woke me up to put it back on. Next morning I felt alot better than I usually did on weekends. Saturday night slept in my bed for the first time in weeks. Mask stayed on all night this time. Fiance was supprised out how quiet I slept. No more snoring in her ears keeping he neighbors awake. Last night was not so well. Not because of the machine or mask, but because of the weather. We had some storms roll thru last night, so I didn't get to bed until 4am and got up at 7:30. So last night was not much mask time and I can tell.

I am hoping that by this Friday (which will mark 1 week) I will be feeling better that I did Saturday. Maybe I can tackle the garage this weekend.

Lonnie, congratulations on your first few days! It sounds like you and your CPAP are gonna be a good pair.

Some folks feel better almost immediately, some folks take a few weeks (OK, maybe 6 or 7 weeks! LOL), so stick with it.

Keep us updated on your progress, k??
