I too suffer from severe sleep apnea.....my breathing stopped 83 times an hour....scary isn't it Brian???
The cpap worked well for me. You do feel better after getting used to the machine and the mask. Once your brain gets the true rest it needs so many things come back to you like, energy, improved memory, better moods, quicker motor skill response times (like when driving your vehicle), less anger, and I could go on and on.
I really hope the cpap works well for you. I, myself always loved looking like an elephant when I went to bed at night
