Moods...
Am wondering how many of you had bad moods or were ill tempered before your CPAP therapy started to work. I never was a terribly patient person, but during the last six months or so, I feel that I have developed a really "short fuse." Frankly, I don't even want to be around me sometimes. Next to the overwhelming fatigue I feel sometimes, the "being in a bad mood" thing disturbs me most. I hate snapping and there are only so many times that you can apologize. I am practicing counting to 100...
I'm wondering what experiences others have had with the mood/emotional side of this whole thing and how it did or didn't resolve itself.
Thanks
Jan

Great questions Renee. I hope that I can answer them. When I first started out in sleep I do not believe that I had apnea. Well at least not so bad that I noticed. Working nights and struggling with techsomnia I have gained 20 lbs in the last year and a half. This was just under 10% of my total body weight which increases your chances for apnea or other disorders by 6 fold. I have actually been trying to get a study for some time now. First of all I was picky about the tech that I wanted to perform my study. Second scheduling was a little tough. Truth be told I have the shortest hair in the lab. This makes me the equipment testee. A few times while testing the equipment I fell asleep. During this sleep my peers saw hypopneas (4% desats). So my test is basically to see how bad my crapnea is. I have known about it for some time now. It was not until recently that i became aware of my symptoms.
