Tuesday, February 19, 2008 at 06:12 AMThanks, Sue. Yes, it is I, Leah of the "Leah" blog.
I am happy to announce that this, my fifth night with Mr. CPAP, has proved to be the turning point. I was able to sleep comfortably for almost seven uninterrupted hours!
This morning I arose refreshed for the first time in ages. Hopefully, this will continue!I appreciate your comments. I am going to post another time to write about my good night. Someone sometime in the future may be struggling with their CPAP and I hope my post will encourage them to just get through those early days grappling with their CPAP.

Wednesday, February 20, 2008 at 05:35 PMI too have a CPAP for a bed buddy. It took me a cuple of weeks to really get used to wearing the mask. Now, I can't sleep without it. I feel better in the mornings and , after awhile, you should get over the " can't breathe" feeling. Glad it's going well for you , keep on keeping on !!

Hi Leah - I'm a moderator for this site (along with Alzheimer's and Skin Cancer) and will try to help where I can woth any informaiton or questions you need answering. Or maybe just an ear. I'm fairly certian I have responded to some of your posts on the other sites.
So the CPAP is proving to be a challenge? Well if anyone can get the better of that machine (and not the other way around), it is you.
You will most definitely stick with it and in the end I bet improve so much in your daily routine.
