[CPAP] Finally got my machine
#11
RE: Finally got my machine
You probably already got your answer but here's another 2 cents worth.

When I started my AHI was high and I did not sleep. Then over the next 4 months my AHI slowly went down to < 1. Sleep was better but still not good. Month 5 sleep jumped up to satisfactory but AHI also jumped up. Very discouraging. Month 6, sleep got better to what I call good and AHI is starting to come down. Just when I think I have it order control, I get another setback. Now I have too see a heart Doctor.

Bottom line: every month was better than the previous even if it was very different. And I do see a light at the end of the tunnel.
CPAP is a journey like “The Wizard of Oz”. It’s a long slow journey. You will face many problems and pick up many friends along the way. Just because you reach the poppies, it doesn’t mean you are in Kansas.

Not unless you educate yourself before you get the machine. You always have an option, you just have to know how to assert it.
