[QUOTE="rhino5169, post: 92140, member: 14708"] I can tell you this..... Getting my cpap machine was life changing. Not that I sleep great now because I don't but at least I get somewhat decent sleep. Before the machine I did not sleep well at all. I would fall asleep during the day while driving. I actually couldn't get used to it at first so it didn't use it for months. Then it tried again, and how it got used to it to was to wear it for a while before going to sleep. I'd sit in a recliner and wear it while watching TV and that helped. Now I cannot sleep without it and it look forward to it, it's almost like a relaxing therapy. I went through all the different types of masks and I settled on nasal pillows, they are the least obtrusive and do ok while I'm tossing and turning. When I was diagnosed my dr called me immediately himself instead of the assistants to tell me to get in there today for the prescription and get a machine asap. One of the worst he'd seen, I had 120 apneas per hour, which means I stop breathing every 30 seconds. I've now used it every night since 2007. I have a 100% compliance rate with an extremely low apnea rate. [/QUOTE]
