Dating and CPAP

I made my fiance at the time, now husband, get CPAP or I wouldn't marry him. I was much more turned off by the snoring than the CPAP. When I was dating, I don't think it would have been such a big deal. More something to joke about.

Good luck in getting back into the dating world.

I've come a long way since sitting in the middle of that bed at the sleep clinic at 2:30 a.m, bawling my eyes out....

I can relate to that. I was terrified when they told me to come back for a second round.. for CPAP fitting.. I actually woke up in the clinic and ripped the mask off unable to breathe. I just wanted to leave, everything in me wanted to grab my stuff and go home. I'm a computer nerd that works around electric substations, everything from 7,000 to 200,000 Volts less than 15 feet off the ground. I've never felt more scared or helpless than the moment I woke up in that clinic. They had the pressure set to 23 on me, without EPR, needless to say I was not amused. Thankfully I'm not a back sleeper..

I've been using my CPAP for around three weeks now and I can't go without it. I didn't feel very different, until I had to go a night without it. People come and go, having a CPAP machine might make things a bit harder when looking, but it will definitely weed out the ones that don't deserve you anyway!

Oh and it was 26.
