finally got my cpap

after a year long waiting list i've finally received my machine. i can honestly say it's been ruining my life in many areas, messed up my social life, bodybuilding and education/work. in the past 3 months it has gotten so severe i've practically shrunk while getting fatter at the same time, possibly do to inadequate recovery and the whole lot. 14 hours sleeping everyday on average, feel like i'm on melatonin all day.

The grass only gets greener if you water it and had i not got on this list a year ago i could have potentially never gotten better.
Safe to say im pretty excited

will update this thread with the improvements this brings to my life

How old are you? What do think was the primary cause for you needing a machine? Also how long has the lack of recovery from sleep been an issue for you?
 
woke up today with a burst of energy in the morning like i used to. felt more ready to go.

Found i was most comfortable wearing it while on my back. i have the nose mask.

bit of a claustrophobic feeling at first and it might take a couple nights to get used to.

No idea exactly what the cause is, i do stop breathing in the night though. they explained that it's likely my muscle relaxing too much causing airways to close. could have been induced by shitty rec drugs, who knows. that's around the time when i started to feel tired all the time. the recovery was probably always an issue but since january it's started to progress to an extreme issue.

im pretty young to be on a cpap machine, 18.

Oh wow. Yes you are awful young for that. I’m asking because I wonder if I need a sleep study. I’m not overly enormous anymore and don’t think I should need one but there’s no denying some silly business begins once I think I’m asleep. Plus I snore and that’s not conducive to the healthiest of love lives. Appreciate the response. The rec drug comment landed in an auspicious way too.
 
Hope it works for you. I was excited to get mine a couple years ago. Tried really hard but I hate the fucking thing and finally just gave up on it. It was ok at times but just couldn't get used to it and it would bother the hell out of me.
 
Heck yeah, awesome.

I'm 37, not overweight or "big" and started exhibiting symptoms a few months ago.

Finally got mine, huge life changer

Have you tried not PermaBlastingTren?

Serious note, I have one and its been a god send. Best of luck on the journey with it!

Make sure you keep it clean as fuck and water thing full.
 
Cpap didn’t work for me. Well, it definitely stopped snoring because I was rarely asleep. I did 2 rounds somnoplasty and that has been incredibly effective. I’d have no problem paying for an annual procedure if needed. Just going to sleep with no fanfare and almost zero snoring is amazing.
 
Why did it take a year to get one? How did you determine it was sleep apnea and not because you're a teenager? Honest questions, most teenagers sleep a lot and having it long enough to realize the issue and take a year to get a CPAP all by 18 is wild. Are you severely overweight?

Married my husband when he was 19 and told him he had sleep apnea, he had no idea he quit breathing or snored like a train. He wasn’t overweight or anything either. He passed the sleep study by 1 fucking point and didn’t pursue treatment until he really felt like shit around 30. It made a huge difference in how he felt.

Myofunctional therapy was something he tried mid 30s that helped, but he couldn’t ever get comfortable with the prescribed oral mouth piece so went back to the machine. It may be something to look into.
 
Thi
had doctor prescribed try at 14 or 15 because i wasn't going through puberty or any male development, had i believe 12ng/dl test. looked 11 at 15
This is so common. There's a guy I know who has a 15 year old son that doesn't have a hair on his body, hasn't hit puberty yet. I was a wilderbeast full beard partying at the bars at 15. Very strange. Did you get a prognosis?

dont have an exact idea what a prognosis is but assuming it's something along the lingns of diagnose it would be type 2 hypogonism

A quick google and subsequent AI showed that there's quite a bit of this now because of phalates and hormones in food and water. Did the treatment you receive correct this?
 
Wait wait so with the cpap now, you’re sleeping 14 hours a day and you’re super tired and it’s like you’re on melatonin all day long?
That’s crazy. I take 20mg melatonin to even fall asleep. Damn adhd and sleep issues.
I’m getting a sleep study done soon.

But im worried with the cpap that’s how it’ll go for me. I’ve snored and woken up 5-6 times a night for years and years. Always tired no matter what.
It’s gotten to where I rather live on 5 hours of sleep.
Anymore than 5 hours I wake up a bunch and I’m exhausted.

If the cpap makes me even more tired. That’ll blow. But eventually it’ll go away I hope.
So many mixed reviews about it.
