Not to be a party pooper but cpap doesn't work for everyone. Hopefully you will go with the statistical average and it will work for you. It didn't work for me. And don't let this forum or any other make you feel that something is wrong with you if it doesn't. I made the mistake of reading that into my inability to adapt to cpap therapy. I now realize that it wasn't the intent of this forum to make me feel that way but after two years on cpap, bipap, autopap and not getting any better, the frustration made me quit and not use anything for several more "foggy" years. I ended up finding an alternative solution the cpap that did work for me, cleared my head and get everything down to controllable levels.

Get the real diagnosis first, then deal with the therapy second. Give it a real try, the statistics are on you side.
