Hi,
just wondering if anyone using a CPAP? Probably a stupid ? and am sure there are some out there that do. I know it takes adjusting to, but how long? I am just not adjusting to mine. How long does it take? Ok so it's been a week now...and am supposed to sleep with it or at least use it for so many hours a night for my insurance to cover it. It has a chip in it for them to download and make sure am using it...well I am using it, but am not sleeping any better than before.
I am going on my 14th week now or maybe more with very sleepless nights...about 2 hours a night. I sooo can't take this anymore. I have been on sleeping pills, and i can fall asleep and crap like that but can't stay alseep.
I did have the sleep test and was discoved to have moderate sleep apnea. i use the full mask that covers the nose and mouth because when at the sleep study i freaked out when just over the nose for some reason and I feel like am getting more air when i have the full one on...but still not hardly any sleep. I sleep the first hour and then am up for pretty much the rest of the night.
Anyways, it's just begining to take a HUGE toll on my mental health and there are physical problems too, but with not much sleep not a lot i can do during the day lately. I have no clue what to even do about this anymore. I went to my Pdoc when couldn't sleep, he sent me to specialist, now I use this machine, and still nothing...i mean what's the point?
I take my meds each night at the same time...and am up about the same time or about an hour to two hours later after I fall asleep pretty much till sun comes up. It's getting pretty frusterating.
Thanks for listening and any feedback would be appreciated very much,
Jen
