I'm having a hard time sleeping with the CPAP masks

[tiredgrl]

I'm getting tired of all this drama.

Enchanter - very, very few people take to wearing their mask right from the start. You have unrealistic expectations to magically feel great right from the start. It took me MONTHS to get used to it, and to wear it faithfully. I didn't whine and cry like you're doing. Yes, it was frustrating - I thought I'd found the magic cure but it wasn't working for me. Once I got used to my mask, and got used to masking up before I went to bed, it became a habit that makes me feel great.

Stop being a baby. Stop with the pity party. Stop feeling sorry for yourself. Everyone is tired of your constant whining. You aren't the only person to struggle when first beginning to use a CPAP. You act like something is wrong with you, and that everyone else got it right from the start. Lots of people struggle in the beginning. You're not the only one.

I'm not even sure why I'm typing this. You'll have some big dumb ass excuse why it isn't working for you. I wonder if you're even an adult. You whine and complain, and feel sorry for yourself like a small child.

Call 1-800-whaaaaa! Or go cry to your mommy!

Is medical marijuana actually a good way to help me sleep? Will it make me real tired the next morning? I'm open, I'm open.

Lol, yeah, no! Consider me a long term study. Doesn't cause problems. Not addictive. Safer than Ambien addiction.

I'll go up there and cuff your butt! Oh wait, I don't do that anymore!

It's legal (medical use) where E lives.

Likely needs a valid medical diagnosis to obtain a medical marijuana card.
Enchanter has proven to me that he can not acquire documents supporting a medical diagnosis.

I just checked and insomnia is covered according to his state laws. I can't say one way or the other if it would help him or not. I'm not trying to dictate what anyone should try. It just seems the most harmless choice.

Lots of luck with that.
I nominate you to accompany Enchanter to the doctor to discuss your opinion of his medicinal needs.
End of discussion.

He's a grown man. He can do this on his own!

Really though, how many of you here have tried to dx him as far as what you think about his mental health? Have any of you met him? Did my discussing the possibility of medical pot imply I was dx'ing him? He has insomnia! Pretty cut and dried. He has anxiety.

You nominate me? Do any of you ever realize how childish you sound?

End of discussion? Quit reading the thread or better yet FOE me! Some of you on this forum are just plain old nuts and rude! You know who you are! Time to get it through your head that I don't care what you think of me! I don't care about you at all

By the time he gets to the Dr for the pot, he will be wanting cocaine or heroin. Jim

Why? Why are you being pessimistic? Maybe weed is the cure for my insomnia. Ems knows sleep.

And to all the haters that told me I would struggle even more once I actually started using CPAP, congratulations for being right.

How is giving you an honest statement being a hater? Very few people hit it off and have instant success and no problems. I had a great titration night. Then I went home and swore at my machine for 6 weeks as I struggled with mask leaks. We were being quite honest that most people do struggle. This is not an easy therapy to get used to. But it works great once, optimized. So, how is that being a hater? We were trying to help you by telling you that, yes, it would be hard, but once you get past it, there is great sleep waiting for you.

I see. I was under the impression that some wanted me to fail or assumed I would.

Then talk to your doctor about it which is where all your questions should be directed.
When you call about your results today, perhaps you want to also make an appointment to discuss this issue. Asking forum members about whether medical weed will work for you is totally inappropriate and needs to cease immediately.

Nope, just trying to give you realistic expectations. People who expect it to be a challenge tend to be more able to accept the challenge and succeed. The people who expect instant success and don't get it, well they tend to quit. Some try again many years later when the symptoms are much worse. And some never try again and just deal with the added health health problems.

He would never approve. Remember the Ambien and how hesitant he was? Do I just go to the dr at cannibus club? My friend smokes everyday, but I know he won't just give me some.
