Fatigued!!! ~-~

Well I had my sleep study a few weeks ago which I was then notified that I have obstructed sleep apnea. I never would of thought I had it. I just figured I was tired all the time because I am always on the go with 4 kids, cheer, band, football, work etc. Now I return to the center tomarrow for another sleep study and to be fitted for a CPAP machine. I have soooo been dreading it, I am a nurse and have had to put a few patients on these noisy things, but I know technology has improved so I'm hopeful it won't be to bad. These last few weeks I am so exhausted and have no energy having to push myself to go, so now I say bring on the CPAP!!! THIS MAMA NEEDS SOME REST!!!! Has anyone else been put on this and what was has been your experience? :)

About 3-4 years ago I went for a sleep study as I snored a lot and was always tired. It has made a WORLD of difference. The machines and masks are much smaller than they used to be so it isn't that bad. It took me a lot to get used to as I was a mouth breather and had to learn to sleep w/ my mouth closed. Now I do that naturally. Also, try out the different masks they have. I have the nasal pillows as I don't like having a big mask over my nose and mouth. Lastly, when selecting a mask, see if they have one that diffuses the air that comes out of it. The nasal pillow one I have does not and I have to lie facing the wall in my room otherwise I am blowing air on my fiance's back which is not fun for him. That being said, it does take getting used to and I took it off many times in the middle of the night. I kept at it and now I don't feel good if I forget to put it on. You will be amazed at the improved quality of sleep you will get. :)

I just got fitted for a dental appliance. I can't sleep with the c pab. The noise was horrible & the mask claustrophobic. I hope it works for you.If not find something that does work. Good luck
