OK, about 3 months ago I was diagnosed with a mild case of sleep apnea. I have RELUCTANTLY (to say the least) accepted this. On Friday I received my CPAP and mask (nasal pillows) and used them for the first time last night.
I'm not impressed. I felt no different this morning than any other. I also know I woke several times last night. I'm sure I was getting used to the mask and tube, blowing, etc. but I expected to feel at least a LITTLE better.
My boss uses a CPAP and he claimed he felt 100% better the following morning. I also saw an episode of The View where Rosie O'Donnell now uses a CPAP and she felt better the first day as well.
I didn't expect perfection, but geez....for all the grief I thought it would be different. I'm not jazzed in the least about using this thing, but if I have to I will. I know it will take some time to get into a regular routine, and I expect it will get better, but everything I've heard has been instantaneous results.
Anyone else use a CPAP? What were your results after once use? What can I expect after regular use?
Thanks!!!
