Hi,

I am in the same boat as you. My life has changed in many ways, but I cannot put my finger on them.

The annoying CPAP machine is no longer annoying, and I enjoy (did I say ENJOY) using it, because I feel so much better using it.

I too had apnea for years. My snoring was a joke to everyone, including me. Even when my wife told me about my periods of not breathing I dismissed it. What an idiot I was.

Best part is that I am finding I have a pretty darn good memory.

My whole outlook is improved. Better.

When I got my CPAP machine this list gave me the advice to buy as many extras as i could afford with my CPAP (humidfier, C-Flex, ramp up, DC plug, and built in international currant converter), and I am glad I did. I want to take my CPAP and travel.

Later,
Silenced Thunder
