I have been on cpap for 12+ years now and I have not had any change in energy levels or well being. My numbers are excellent! I sleep for just under 7 hours every night. I check them daily with Sleepyhead. I was diagnosed with severe sleep apnea (63 event per).

I am not typical, I don't think. I believe that my energy levels and well being have more to do with the fact that I have had severe Rheumatoid and now severe Osteoarthritis for over 25 years now. The conditions and the meds I take to function with these conditions, just deplete my energy levels and make me not feel great.

I have never missed a night (or a nap) with my cpap since I started so, in spite of my situation, I know that my cpap is doing me a lot of good. I have a nurse come to my home every week to give me a shot and she does my vitals (oxygen levels, blood pressure, etc.) My oxygen levels are ALWAYS 97% plus. My blood pressure is ALWAYS about perfect. I have no heart problems. I attribute this to cpap use.

By the way, I am 76 years old.

I'm asking how long it took before you started noticing changes in your energy or well being, which I might expect could progress over a period of time.

Thanks!

Thanks for the survey data! I frankly have not felt any increase in energy since I began using a CPAP; I have been doing so for three years. Now I wonder if that has been hyped to people.

It took me two weeks before I noticed I was better. However, my experience is not a "success story", unless success is defined as still tired everyday, brain fog, struggling to get through the day, things like that.

I think that stuff is worth some REAL money, now.

I won't part with my Confederate Currency, I like my Flags. At the rate things are going in a few years, it will be worth more than Federal Dollars. Jim

Forgot to ask, how much in Bitcoins to get the "T" Shirt, XXL and the lifetime e-mail acct.
