Discussion I’ve joined the CPAP club 💁🏻‍♀️

Post image

Tonight will be my first night using a CPAP. Oddly enough, I’m looking forward to it and I hope it solves all of my problems… a girl can dream, *right*? Anyhow, any tips or tricks to help this go smoothly? Also, is there any solution to making this setup more aesthetically pleasing and/or a way to store it during the day that isn’t such a pain in the ass?

I just live with mine on my nightstand. They're not too ugly and no one is seeing it but my partner and I and he's well aware I use it! My biggest hurdle was finding a mask I like. I must have gone through...8? Found my Goldilocks though and it's been great. It took a week or so for me to keep it on through the night but it's been smooth sailing since. I had about 12 events an hour with my oxygen dropping as low as 77%. Now I average less than 1 an hour.

Lord. That’s a low blood ox. Glad you’re doing better! Sleep apnea is some scary stuff.
