What machine are you using? What mask do you use? Hows it going for you? Any OSCAR users? SleepHQ?

Same. I hate it but i need it.
Uncorrected my AHI is around 40-50. On CPAP therapy its about 2-5 usually. So, CPAP it is.
I’m getting a machine next week, im in my 30s and never used one before, my test said ahi was 55 which is a lot, I’m really hoping my life will become more liveable due to the machine but I have to wait like 9 days to get it
Your apnea hypopnea index is a score that tells you how many events per HOUR you are having. 55 is slightly less than one event every minute. I have a former girlfriend whos AHI untreated was between 70-90. One event every 45 seconds roughly.
Please wear your gear if you get it. Please. It isnt enjoyable, and its taken me the better part of a year to find a mask i like, and to get my Cpap machine dialed in the way it needs be, but barring just a natural bad mood upon awakening, i WAKE up. I have energy to face the morning. Im no longer drowsy mid day, just for o reason. My risk of stroke/heart attack/ sudden unexplained death has dropped because i use it. Some nights i use it 8-10 hours. Some nights just 3-4. But it helps. So much.
Yeah I’m really excited for it cuz I’m basically non functional now. A couple months ago a friend of my partner died from it (fell asleep sitting up playing video games on the couch and just couldn’t get breathing again) so I’m pretty motivated to get it lol.
Its really rough right now, I have a psychiatrist appointment to finally get my ADHD diagnosis (after a year of waiting) and get my cpap next week (after like 9 months of waiting) so I’ve been counting down days for months now lol
Thanks for caring lol <3
i was around 50 also and now around 10 w my machine
