Hi all,

just an update on my therapy. after a week of mask hell and denial of my condition, not to mention the depression of realising that sleep time will never be the same again, ive decided on the micro mirage resmed mask and last night i actually slept with the mask and machine on all night. whilst i dont feel like super man, i am a little more focused and more chirpy today. i definately feel like i have more energy and i dont feel the need to have an afternoon nap at all. im hoping this is the sign that CPAP is beginning to work for me. also, i didnt wake up once to go to the toilet and i didnt feel the mask on my face at all. the machine has now been set to APAP and once briefly i did feel the pressure increase but i fell back asleep instantly. my usual zombie feeling is lifted today and i pray that i keep improving.
ill keep y'all updated and thanks for your support so far.

Adrian

How wonderful that you are noticing positive effects already! Many take months to see results. You seem to be doing well, keep up the good work!

Ado,

You're getting the treatment "baby steps", congratulations. Hold on to these little things that are happening, they're great morale boosters. The big stuff is yet to come!
