Just wanted to say hello and thank you to everyone. Have been reading this forum for a couple of months.
The information and support offered here is incredible. Had my sleep test in late August and was upset when
the tech told me that from talking with me he didn't think I had sleep apnea. I work with a couple of guys
that are on cpap and they both encouraged me to be tested and that I would be amazed at the difference
it would make. Turns out they were right! Got a clall from the sleep doctor two days later, told me I had apnea events 4 to 5 times an hour. Had my M sieries 2 days after that and love it. I guess I am one of the
lucky ones in that I look forward to strapping on my mask every night. I have good nights and not so good nights followed by good days and not so good days, but I'm no longer nearly unconscious by 10:00 in the morning and that makes any minor inconvenience of adjusting to the therapy seem trivial. Again thank you
all, I'm learning every day how to make cpap therapy more comfortable and more effective.

Its good to hear that autoPAP is working for you. We all like success stories. Few of us attain complete comfort the first while of using CPAP. That will come. Here's wishing you continued success - and welcome to the forum.

Welcome, you came here with the right attitude, it sure makes a difference to have a can do attitude about everything. All of us here would rather be like we use to be, that's not how life works, it's a test, take a few sharp number 2 pencils with you.
