Sleep Apnoea Forum Bringing Help + Support to the Patient
Thanks for the warm welcom...
First let me thank all of you for the warm welcome...
I am fortunatein that I adapted to the CPAP straight away and other
than the odd occasion of leaking mask (solved by repositioning either
myself or the mask)...I have only had my machine for 6 days.. I have
worn it every night since I have had it...I feel much better already..
I wear it about 12 hours a night...
I have had depression and/or anxiety for years...Long before I was
diagnosed with Sleep Apnoea...I have been on Sertraline (Zoloft)100mg
and O.bupropion 75mg...
I am will be 69 years young...I was born 10/29/42...I live in Central
Florida...Since I have been on my "CPAP" I sleep great at night...No
more night mares and no daytime falling asleep..
My only probem I have is ajusting the part that goes under my chin..I
can't make it loser or in leaks lots of air...Also I can't open and close the little
ball clip thing...Hubby has to help me put it on and take it off...
My mask is a full face mask...ComfortGel Full...
It also has System One Heatered Humidifier...
The machine is a Remstar Auto A- Flex

Hi Charlene. Glad you felt a warm welcome to our forum, and hope you find lots of help and support from us all in these early days of your CPAP therapy. It sounds like you've already got off to a great start, and so pleased to hear that after just 6 days you're already feeling the benefits, and as time goes on I'm sure you'll feel even more, and reckon you'll feel even younger than your 69 years soon :) Lots of people suffer from depression and anxiety when they're diagnosed and I bet now a lot of things are starting to make sense to you. All that sleep depravation really takes a toll on our bodies, minds and emotions!
The different clips on the mask do often take a bit of getting used to. Try to practise fastening and unfastening it during the day looking in the mirror, and once you get the hang of it you'll eventually be able to do it by 'feel.' Trouble is, once you get the hang of one and they you change your mask, you have to get used to a different one :-D
