My one month anniversery TODAY!
Well today marks the one month anniversary of the receipt of my "very own" CPAP Machine
Observations:
1.) I've had a few rough patches (e.g. allergies and stuffy nose.)
2.) Adjusting to FFM was a little tougher than I had originally thought (who knew )
3.) Was it worth it You better believe it
4.) I feel alive again! I now know that I don't have AADD or early onset Alzhiemer's disease (this was serious and not meant to be funny). I have my life back
5.) This forum has helped me so much
So, A very heartfelt and large THANK YOU to all who have supported me
You fellow members have made it much easier! I only hope that I am able, in some way, to pay it forward in future.
Cheers,
Dave

DAVE,
I am also a new user of Cpap.. I have been on Cpap for 3 months and am so much better...Glad to hear everything is working good for you. Its tough in the first stages of this and we need all the help we can get so this forum has been a life saver for me. Keep up the good work and may you enjoy restful sleep.

I like this post as well. Three weeks in for me. This site is God sent. So many things to adjust to and here one discovers he/she is not alone with these issues. Also Dave, as much a challenge is CPAP, it is much better than the early dementia I though was upon me.
God Bless..

Yep! That early dementia scare is really SCARY I really thought that I had it!talladega wrote:I like this post as well. Three weeks in for me. This site is God sent.

I can laugh now, but I wasn't laughing a couple of months ago when I "woke up" at 60mph on the median of the interstate
I am lucky! No harm no foul and I got help.

We're so glad that you're here, Dave! Congratulations on achieving such success during your first month.
It is such a joy to feel alive again and to be able to think clearly! I've experienced that change myself. There's even more to look forward to -- it gets better and better!
