Well with a CPAP he is probably getting better and more refreshing sleep. Sleep is a HUGE issue with Fibromyalgia. So I hope he continues to feel better and enjoy these moments.

Yes I know sleep is a huge issue. That's why I encouraged him to get the sleep study done. I'm really glad something is finally helping him. I would highly recommend to others to get a sleep study just in case it might help you too.

Glad he's using it - my hubby benefited tremendously from his.

Does your insurance cover the CPAP? Does the sound from the machine keep you awake?

My husband had a sleep study done and because he only has mild sleep apnea, the insurance would not cover the cost of it. He has chronic and extreme snoring and a mild deviated septum. He seems to sleep well.

Because of my Fibromyalgia, and sleep being so important, I sleep in the guest bedroom since he keeps me awake on and off all night. I am also a very light sleeper.

He has tried everything but the CPAP, even as far as having palatopharnygoplasty surgery (helps to open the airways), which has a 50/50 chance of helping, and it did not in his case.

I just wonder since I am such a light sleeper, if the CPAP machine would still keep me awake. We want so much to be able to sleep together in the same bed again and not just visit each other!

I am so glad to see it is helping your husband and to see your support for him.

My partner was a VERY loud snorer. I had to use earplugs and sometimes that wasn't enough. Since she began using the CPAP, we both sleep much better. Her CPAP makes no noise at all. It's really changed everything.

That is so exciting to hear! I feel really great for you. I just received the results of my sleep study and found out that I have obstructive sleep apnea and have to start using an auto-pap next week. It may end up being that I will need a CPAP, but either way, I'm not too excited about it. All I can say is that I hope it helps me feel better.

A sleep study saved my life. I was waking up 69 times an hour, and my 02 level was dropping to 68%! The doctor freaked out. My husband is also on a CPAP. They are quiet. I must say, going on a CPAP was what finally helped me get the best sleep. If you question at all that you need one get please get it. it's the most effective treatment that I've had. They did tell me not to use any sedatives before the study. I had to try multiple masks before I found the one I like.

Our insurance will cover it with a doctors order. But it makes such a difference I would do whatever it took to get it, even put it on a credit card or line of credit if I had to! I think it does more for him than any of his fibro meds! I can not believe the world of difference it has made, in less than a week! His fog and fatigue are waaaaay better. His pain is even a little better, and his ability to cope with the pain is much much better. It's really quiet so it doesn't disturb my sleep at all. I feel like this machine is giving us both our lives back!
