I haven't been retested yet and have had my machine for two years. I know I need to go through another sleep study but I don't really feel like it! I also am afraid that I'm now addicted to the CPAP machine and won't be able to sleep without it, lol. I don't know if I'm the only one out there that feels that way. Nancy.

I feel the exact same way as you Nanook. Our power went out this past weekend for a few hours in the late evening, and I was practically having a panic attack because the thought of sleeping without my CPAP is scary to me.

I had night terrors several times a night and woke up constantly before I started getting treated for my sleep Apnea.

No way do I ever want to experience those again.

I took some pics with the mask on and after careful consideration decided this thread was silly and I shouldnt have started it! It looks horrible! My original thought was to take some funny pics, you know, working out with it on, driving in the car with it on, and the like. But heck no! The only one that gets to see me with the birth control mask on is my wife! Oh yea, lets talk about trying to talk with it on. I sound like stinkin darth vader with the air rushing out of my mouth while I am trying to talk! Its all kinda funny, still trying to get used to it and get the right mask. Have a good weekend all, Wayno:thumbup:

I've had my CPAP for a few years and have tried different masks but I just can't get used to it. I haven't had a good nights sleep in years.

My Doctor said that I have to wear it at the hospital so I'm going to start wearing it tonight so I get us to it before my surgery on 3/31/10.
