I've had my CPAP for about 3 yrs. now, wish I'd gotten it sooner. I was waking up with severe dry mouth from mouth-breathing and bad headaches, blood pressure was high, and of course the snoring too. After doing the sleep test it said I was stopping breathing something in excess of 60 times an hour.

After getting my machine it was like a God sent miracle. Mine has the humidified air and heated hose. I've worked with the sleep clinic to get the pressure and the ramp up time set (starts low and builds to the set pressure). I usually turn it down in the summer when the air is more naturally humid and up in the winter when the heating has the house air dry. Good thing is the supplier has someone in the clinic office and if I need something they will order it and get is shipped right away. Just go once a year now and they run the SD memory card and check what I'm doing and how the machine is performing.



No more snoring, no morning headaches, lower BP, no dry mouth. I tried going on some trips with out it and that was a mistake, was miserable the entire time, so I pack it up and put it in the truck along with the other luggage.

A hard head I work with has other health problems and sleep apnea but he wouldn't wear it at night. I kept telling him about the benefits I was seeing and how the machines and masks have changed from when he got his machine, he finally went back the doctor and got back on the machine. It's helped him too.

To me it was more than worth it and my health ins. covered most of the cost, even if it didn't it would be worth it. I guess if you need it and don't use it I feel for your widow and other loved ones. It's your choice to live and die with the condition or get help. I hope they put this on your gravestone, to paraphrase a noted contributor on this thread: It's my life, not my wife's or my doctor's. Stuff it!
