I wanted to extend my heart felt thanks to this group of people. Your advice has been a tremendous help to me. I now have the right questions to ask my doctor and know more about other products out there I didn't even know existed.
This is my second week and I'm feeling better than I have in a year. Today is the sole exception, but my partner told me my mask made a lot of noise last night. I’m guessing it came off and I didn't sleep. I walked around a lot this week replaying posts on this board in my head and relating to them. If I continue to feel this way I think i can now start focusing on getting well in other areas. I may never have the chronic fatigue thing beat, but I feel like I can start on my weight now without so much dread.
One thing has been bugging me tho. I'll do some searching on this forum to see if its been talked about before. When I sat in the home care facility getting fitted for my mask, each mask was new. they would remove it from the plastic and see if it fit. that seemed to be a huge waste to me. I thought, surely they can't be using a new mask for every person coming in here just to see if it fits can they?
thanks again for your supportive posts and emails. You have all been a great help to me. I hope i can help someone in the future with the information you've given me.
