I was diagnosed severe at 40. Been through **** the last year. Really depressed. Have had CPAP for over a month and still not adjusting to it yet. Due to major sinus problems and surgeries, I have been a mouth breather for years and it is very difficult learning how to breath again. However IMHO CPAP is bringing me back to life.It has not been easy and I have a long way to go.The severity of my constant headaches has diminished. I do not get up numerous times of the night looking for food and the bathroom. No more sleepwalking.(I still find myself taking off my mask occasionally in my sleep.My doctor thinks I may need a pressure adjustment) And very few nightmares like I was having before.Our family life is starting to mend itself. I see lot more postives coming out of this; Now that the real problem has been found.
