I have a love-hate relationship with my CPAP but am toughing it out for now. I've been snoring my entire life and had surgery to have my tonsils and adnoids removed at 19 (I was ill with severe tonsillitis, nobody knew I had OSA). I stopped snoring for about 6 years, then started again.

About the wife, I don't know what to say. My husband has been so understanding. I was _so_ embarassed putting on the CPAP- I thought he'd find me less desirable. He told me that he loves me and wants me to be healthy. :)
