Encouragement for Newbies

For those of you new to CPAP and frustrated, I just want to encourage to hang in there. I use to visit this site often in those early months trying to find hints and tricks to make the CPAP work for me. I was frustrated and tired! I had to try several.masks and threw a few across the room.

Over time, everything finally starting falling into place. I thought I would never get use to having something on my face or a hose to mess with. I wondered if I would ever stop the silly mask from leaking.

Now, I get ready for bed and don't even think about it. I put on my mask, put a little tape on my lips, and lay in about any position and go to sleep. I don't have many leaks and rarely anything that wakes me up. My AHI is rarely above 1. I can't sleep without my CPAP now.

I still don't sleep great a lot of nights, but is isn't because of the CPAP (stupid hormones). So, stick with it and it does get better once you hone in on what works best for you.
