How Many of Us Are 100% "Compliant"?
I would count myself in the ranks of those 100% compliant -- meaning that, with very few exceptions, I use my machine every single night, all night, and whenever I take a nap.
Hopefully I'm not alone. What about everyone else?

i like that phrase -- 100%er. maybe we should have a group on this forum called "The 100% Club" that just does outreach/ support to newbies and others struggling.

I don't sleep w/o PAP unless I've let my sleep debt accumulate & fall asleep in my chair watching a game or a movie. Whenever I intend to sleep I crank that baby up!

Hi Jackie! Re: scared to not comply, me too......I read on here somewhere today, I think, that untreated OSA can lead to Central Apnea.

Untreated OSA can lead to the CAUSES of CSA. ie CHF, brain damage, central nevous system disorder, siezures, strokes. etc, etc.

I am 100% for the last 9 years. I have had a few night of no power and learned that without it I can't get to the deep stage sleep and I get a head ache and sore throat just like the old days prior to the CPAP

After a couple of times in the beginning where I spent a few minutes cuddling with my partner and fell asleep I have been 100% compliant for 18 months.

I've been 100 percent compliant for six months since getting the CPAP. Yet, I still suffer from symptoms of chronic fatigue. Any suggestions?

Dr. Singer - you're using the machine religiously and that's great. but we cannot assume that the machine's settings are proper for you without analyzing the efficacy data the machine is recording (hoping you have a good enough machine to get this data) -- your pressure might not be high enough or you could be leaking excessively. have you analyzed the data from the machine?

Hey Mike,
100er's is a good phrase and I hope I'll be joining your ranks as I'll be starting CPAP shortly. But, in the meantime, I wanted to say that everyone on the forum is great and I'd like to point out that you may not all realize how much incredible outreach / support you provide CONTINUALLY - and how very much it is appreciated.
Thanks to ALL,
Renee
