Hi Everyone, I was first diagnosed with obstructive sleep apnea about 18 years ago. For about the first 6 years after that, I did not use CPAP because the machine and mask available to me were awful, and my apnea was only "mild to moderate." Then my apnea worsened to "severe," and I was motivated to try again. Fortunately, I found that machines had gotten quieter and masks less uncomfortable, and I have used my machine all night every night for about the last 12 years or so. My husband also has a breathing disorder and uses cpap for at least part of every night. I joined this group because some new cpap related issues have come up for me, and I am wondering if anyone else is having the same experiences. I am also willing to answer any questions I can from people who are new to CPAP treatment.
