Anyone here have Sleep Apnea? I was diagnosed with it this morning.I will sleep with a C.P.A.P machine tonight

Question:

I quit breathing over 200 times in a 8 hour night ( they had all kind of sensers hooked on me). i don't remember waking up, but it was easy to see on the readout this morning.( and video/ audio tape) Anyway, i have to go back and sleep there tonight with a C.P.A.P. machine ( i will have to sleep with it every night)
That explaines the cronic fatigue, and memory loss, over the past few years, also depression and irratabilaty. I'm really excited, finally some answers as to why i feel like %$^# all the time.
I lost a couple of good jobs, and a 16 year marraige because of this. well i'm glad the marriage is over, but i'm sure going to miss those jobs

Answers:
I have to do the same thing on Monday night. Several different antidepressants barely registered with me and I did two drug studies for newer treatments, and I can still barely make it through the day. The worst is trying to work while nodding off, and having those weird little shifts into half dreams, so it's hard to keep track of what I'm doing. I've discovered I function best at about 4-5 hours of sleep, that I actually feel worse throughout the day when I get 7 or more. And by "worse" I mean more like a landfill than a ceptic tank.

I'm still a little skeptical about how well the CPAP will work. Probably from years of hearing Dr.'s and patients' testimonals about how the right drug will make me feel like a whole new person.

Anyway, good luck.
