three nights and counting ---

[cookie246]

I got my pap machine on Wednesday and felt great on Thursday compared to how I have been feeling in the past four & 1/2 years. This has been a long journey and am glad that I can see sleep at the end of this tunnel.

Now Thursday night was a rough night of sleep, not because of the pap machine, but because I have another sleep distubance to deal with. I act out my dreams when I sleep. Family said I was restless and trying to talk. That does not work well with the masks. So needless to say Friday daytime was horrible. I asked my hubby if he got the license plate of the truck that hit me in the night. I was in so much pain and felt so tired. My REM sleep had been disturbed big time again.

Last night was good and today I actually fel relief from my sleep problems. I am aware that every night may not be good -- I still have some other issues to deal with. The pap machine is one step of a few.

I am not having any trouble with the mask or the machine. The humidifier is working good for me. I have kept my mask on all the nights and have not had any trouble with the exhaust. I have not had any trouble with water running out in humifier.

I feel really good about my experience so far. I will see the doctor on monday about the other sleep problems.

Talk to you soon
