Hi all you sorry sleepers - and former sorry sleepers :o)
Just wanting to vent as a start to my day.
I'm p*ssed that this Cpap therapy might not be working - or working fast enough.
Last night on way home I could have fallen asleep at most of the red lights.
Woke up today & ate a healthy breakfast while watching The View. By the time The View was over I was ready for bed again - so sleepy. Miserable. And muscles are still so weak I have to stop 1/2 way up steps (about 16 steps maybe) to rest thigh muscles before going on up to my bedroom. This is ridiculous.
I guess my next step should be calling the sleep doctor to ask what I should do or maybe call DME to ask if the card in my machine would give enough info to help diagnose any problems. I don't know if the my card is diagnostically helpful or if it’s only nosey - giving time spent on machine to insurance company. I hope it’s a helpful card. Who knows maybe something’s going on that’s making the apnea worse rather than better. Do doctors offices (sleep docs) read these cards at followup appointments? I have noticed a few things that ARE worse since starting CPAP. When NOT going to sleep with intent but instead like almost drifting off while watching tv or something I catch my throat closing up (relaxing way too much or something) and then I hear gurgling or semi snore sounds and the noise wakes me up. This is a totally new thing since starting CPAP. Makes me wonder if the air pressure from cpap on throat might be making the muscular structures weaker. I'm rambling. Gosh I hope I don't slip into a worse state of apnea.
Ending Vent Now.
Hope you all have a beautiful day
Barbara
