Sleep Apnea Support Group

Sleep apnea is a common sleep disorder characterized by brief interruptions of breathing during sleep. People with sleep apnea partially awaken as they struggle to breathe, but in the morning they may not be aware of sleep disturbances.

Good for you! I am about 4 weeks into this therapy. I started with a nasal pillow mask, but I was waking up numerous times per night with a leak. This was causing my fibro pain to go through the roof. Switched to a nasal mask (F&P Zest) and I love it. I'm not getting leaks and it seem quieter to me and to hubby.

I still have fatigue -- hard to say how much is fibro and how much is apnea. But, I do feel more mentally alert. My boss is going to love that!

Hi Ray,

I found that my blood sugar improved, which helped me not to overeat and I actually did lose some weight. A few pounds, but every bit helps!
Best of luck to you.
