Hi Wallace--thanks for your input--I appreciate it, and agree with it, especially now that I'm doing some better. I never sleep without CPAP, nor do I take it off during the night. By now it's a comfort having it on 'cause I was scared to death when I found out what was happening while I slept. I'm a believer. My progress is just slower than I'd expected or hoped for. But I have faith, mostly because everyone on here says the same thing: "Be patient--don't give up--it'll get better". It IS getting better. Slowly.

So again, thank you for sharing your thoughts with me. Every little bit helps, as you obviously know!

Susan McCord :-)

the therapy needs to be the same for you for awhile , why the 6 hr night and then why not at all? couldnt tolerate it? or because you felt better you didnt use the machine? are you on a regimen as far as when you go to bed? all these things factor in to a good nights rest! you need a schedule when you go to bed and of course you know about the caffeine etc as you mentioned, is your mask falling off at night? is it leaking? how long have you been on the machine? you have a lot of variables unfortunately..and alll you can do is stick to it and things will work out i know it sounds strange and youve heard it before but it will come together with perseverance!!
