I'm not much for blogging. Don't get me wrong, I've started my share of blogs thinking "I'm going to do this!" And I make 2 or 3 posts and the blog sits there, no one reads it (except for my boyfriend because he is required). But I need a place to write about my adventures with sleep apnea.
On 11/18/2011 I was diagnosed with Moderate Sleep Apnea. The diagnosis was a complete surprise, but by no means a life-ending announcement. After enduring years of Chronic Fatigue it was nice to get some answers, even if they weren't the answers I might have been hoping for.
I am starting this blog today, the morning after my first night using my CPAP machine. I'll go into more detail later about my numbers and my machines and what and how I am learning about this illness. For now, though....I just want a place to document, daily, how I feel in the morning, how I am adjusting to the machine, and which other options I may be pursuing (like surgery) to treat this condition.
If you're new to apnea, or new to the CPAP and you find my blog a year from now and I've finally adapted to the machine, maybe reading that things get better will help someone...
That is if things get better.
Enjoy the rest of your Monday :)
