The lament of a cpap wearer

Worthy of a Dickerson chapter

I wake with my mouth taped shut
One nostril barley open
A kin to death I feel
Another night; another hundred brain cells gone
Woe is me I'm still alive... damn it
Cursed with loneliness I strive to live on
For Who would put a partner through this crap?
A cracked or bruised rib adds to the fun insanity as depression ebbs then swells
A monster worthy of a Shelly novel

Well said, George.  Luckily it's not that bad for me.  My partner is very supportive of my CPAP use.  When we go to bed we cuddle and when she goes to sleep I turn over, don my mask and I'm off to sleep, too.  You certainly don't need to be cursed with loneliness, I've only heard once on the forum about a partner being disturbed by the CPAP and I don't believe that was really the heart of the issue.

Sorry about the rib- that's got to be uncomfortable.

Yes its full of trials and tribulations.

Too little humidity and feel the burn

Too much and feel the rain

Straps too tight squeezes my eyes from their sockets

too loose and it sounds like one loonggg fart

Have I finally gotten my set up right ? Will I sleep tight tonight?

With the help of the people here chances are good.

Any partner worth a dam would not care what you had to put on to stay alive another night.

Even frankenstein got a bride

Get a hobby ,Do some activities you like and then you will be exposed to like minded people

So bail out your boat set your sails.   

Yes Pap Blows ......If set up well life giving O2

Good Sleep,Chris
