Before I got it, I would fall asleep standing up during the day. It was horrible - I was so tired all the time - couldn't figure out what was wrong. Then I got tested and they immediately put me on a machine and WOW what a difference. Even though I absolutely HATED wearing that mask I truly believe it was saving my life. Now that I've lost 30+lbs, I do not need to wear it.<br />One day you will too!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03844191762138935136noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8730728178044661070.post-67128393342545177392010-04-25T21:47:06.648-07:002010-04-25T21:47:06.648-07:00I'm sure you won't need it by the end of t...I'm sure you won't need it by the end of this year!!Maryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00922151543915598638noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8730728178044661070.post-61296789132467905052010-04-25T21:25:37.754-07:002010-04-25T21:25:37.754-07:00Just catching up on my blog reading!

Hubbend's parents both use(d) c-paps and so this is a part of our day to day life. Thanks for raising awareness, and I hope you can ditch it!JourneyBeyondSurvivalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03701594704460907630noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8730728178044661070.post-39379016451356463852010-04-25T18:29:40.102-07:002010-04-25T18:29:40.102-07:00I'd certainly expect that when you lose some m...I'd certainly expect that when you lose some more weight, you'll also lose the apneay. :D DebAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8730728178044661070.post-63790153807216198832010-04-25T17:42:27.566-07:002010-04-25T17:42:27.566-07:00Hi Katie, I too wear the Cpap, it really makes a d...Hi Katie, I too wear the Cpap, it really makes a difference.
