I have had one month on CPAP treatment. it's amazeballs - life changing and I am so glad I kept fighting for a diagnosis. I knew something was wrong beyond my usual suspects (and I knew it wasn't bloody menopause)....I feel like I have a lot of healing to do but I feel neither depressed nor anxious (and my sinuses aren't a mess). I am not sure I have ever felt this way before.

I hope this isn't insensitive - I know some of you are in the shit of the health fight. I am sending biggest vibes out - everyone deserves some reprieve.

Knowing someone is finding success puts a smile on my face :)

Honestly hearing a good news health story is music to the ears :)

No, I’m happy for you to find validation and relief. I think all of us would be. Rock on.

Yay!!! So happy to hear this!

I have been wondering if I have sleep apnea but I don't have symptoms besides fatigue. I also wake up with a blocked nose almost every morning so that's something.
