Message: [QUOTE="whosurdaddy2720, post: 2687821, member: 376"] I’m a relatively young guy (29 going on 30) that uses a cpap. Never really dealt with excessive sleepiness and honestly would’ve never made the leap if it wasn’t for my wife (fiancé at the time) practically threatening to call off the wedding if I didn’t do something about my terrible snoring. Was in denial and tried a ton of over the counter oral appliances (zzquiet, zyppah, etc.) before I gave in and realized I needed something better. Took a home test that said my OSA was moderate bordering on severe and got a cpap about two weeks later. Everything about it was really freaking weird at first but once I played with the settings and got the air pressure and humidity right I now adore the thing and don’t know how I slept without it. Noticed a pretty significant difference right away in terms of morning alertness and less dry mouth and of course my wife is ecstatic she can finally sleep in peace. I also got an automated cleaner after reading a few horror stories about recurrent sinus infections. Been about six months and I haven’t gotten sick with anything yet so I assume it’s working. Been a breeze to travel with also. Usually take it out of my carry on like a laptop but not sure if you really need to. TSA knows what it is and usually doesn’t give you any trouble. TLDR- Don’t let the stigma of using a cpap hold you back. OSA is serious and must be treated. Frustrating a first but very rewarding down the line. Highly recommend. [/QUOTE]
