Part of job is managing our sleep apnea program, we have had it in place for about 1 1/2 yrs. And it is amazing how people with SA have their life improved because of treatment. What is bad, that most people do not know they have it, and it is doing damage to your body.
It was nice reading this thread, even though having the machine is a big adjustment in you life, it can be a life saver in the end. And yes I agree, if you are having problems get the settings and the machine checked out. This is a case where no question is a dumb one, because most time there is a simple solution.
