<p>Hi John, I have had over 20 yrs of it so far, it just takes a while for your brain to accept that it needs to use a machine.</p>
<p>We are not used to air at pressure being blown into us, so stick with it and in no time you will not be able to sleep without it, or at least you will not want to.</p>
<p>It just takes the right mask and the right humidity and pressures.</p>
<p>You will get there, trust me. If you have problems as of contact your sleep center, most try their best to help…</p>

<p>Hi Sleep2snore,</p>
<p>Thanks for that. It really helps when I receive empathetic replies and advice from fellow OSA sufferers who are further down the road than me. Your support and encouragement is very welcome and helps me to 'stick at it' even when I have bad nights with my cpap machine. A big sincere thank you.</p>

<p>Good to see you are getting to grips with your CPAP machine. It take a while for your body to get back to a normal function after struggling against Sleep Apnoea. You have still a bit to go to get down to where you should be, however, you will get there I hope in the near future.</p>
<p>Try not to even dose without your CPAP machine on, if you must have a quick dose do it in a chair where you are sitting bolt upright. If you fall asleep lying down your airways will become restricted, your oxygen levels will drop and then you end up with a foggy brain. Hope you are now getting there and getting better low numbers.</p>

<p>Hi Kath,</p>
<p>Thanks for your reply. I am not sure if the clinic have adjusted the pressures on my cpap machine. I will ask when I go for my next review at the end of January.</p>
<p>Also I have bought an insulated sleeve for my breathing tube. Hopefully this will stop the condensation and resultant bubbling I am getting in my tube from my humidifier.</p>

<p>As far as I know the DVLA are going to contact my consultant re my fitness to drive. I have been lead to believe that as long as I am responding to treatment I will not have my license suspended. Have you any views on this situation?</p>

<p>Hi John</p>
<p>Good to hear you're feeling some benefits after just 15 days, but with you saying you've come down to an AHI of 20, as you say, that's still moderate sleep apnoea, so hopefully the clinic have adjusted the pressures and when your AHI comes down to 5 or below you should feel more benefits and hopefully to your 'mental fog.'</p>
<p>I'm the same as you, in that when I used to fall back to sleep without my mask on for an hour or so I would wake up feeling terrible so I never do it…</p>
