It just gets worse

Hi, guys. I haven't been around for a while because I've just been so discouraged. I'ts been a year now and nothing is working for me. I have tried a CPAP, a BIPAP, numerous different masks, I have had two sleep studies, have had the pressure changed several times, seen countless doctors, bought a matress genie, and lost 30 pounds (though I'm still about a hundred pounds overweight). I don't know which is worse - trying to sleep with the mask which I can only tolerate for a couple of hours or without it. Either way, I don't get any sleep. I do good to get through the workday and get home and collapse. Whether I lie down on the sofa or sit in the recliner, I am gasping for breath and lightheaded within 30 minutes of dozing off. It takes me two hours in the morning to become functional.


I just don't know what to do anymore.

thanks, John. I appreciate the encouragement.
