Been there and still partially there. Others have provided encouragement and support and add me to the list. My cognitive processes haven't returned yet but the cpap started being effective after 9 months of frustration. I lost a job to OSA also and have applied for disability which was declined . Next step is an attorney and appeal. Who titrated your cpap? Do you have a mask that doesn't leak that you can keep on all night? I still have very little rem so I think that is holding up my memory and problem solving. It is not a quick fix for some of us and I have only had effective cpap for 2 months so I'll hang in there one day at a time and hope. I hope you can find a way to persevere. Keep posting here and maybe sharing your feelings and thoughts will help a little.
