WOW, I am so excited! My doctor had been telling me for the past couple of years I should do a sleep study because he thought I had sleep apnea. Well, took me a while but I did it and let me tell you, I am ready to be a spokesperson for the CPAP machine!lol I just went for my second study a few days back and slept with the machine. OMG! I haven’t felt that good since I was in my 20’s. My face and body wasn’t swollen when I woke up, I didn’t feel tired, I had had a large red patch on my chest for the last 10 years and even it has started to get lighter! I could even see better (I had alot of “fog” or blurred vision before) I always ached all over and had a headache usually from the time I woke up to the time I went to bed and the day after sleeping with the machine I cleaned my house like it hadn’t been cleaned in years! Then that night when I watched a movie with my family, I didn’t fall asleep during it! This diagnosis and machine has truly been a god send. Comments
