Getting used to wearing the CPAP
I don't think after 6 years I will ever get used to using it. It is not the most comfortable thing in the world.
I don't know. I do it because I am suppose to do it. I hope it is helping. I know my boyfriend doesn't stay over night anymore for it brothers him. He can't sleep. I only keep it on 4 to 6 hours. When I wake up I take it off.
That is a common problem for many people. It takes time to get use to the device and continue to wear it all night long. We have a couple of articles on dating and using the CPAP I will share one with you https://sleepapnea.sleep-disorders.net/living/dating. I also wanted to share with you this article on why you need to use your PAP therapy https://sleepapnea.sleep-disorders.net/clinical/risks-untreated-osa It can cause serious health issues. I am so proud of you for sticking with it and doing the therapy because you know you need to. I hope it helps to know why you need to and maybe your boyfriend will be more understanding if he knows how important it is as well. It can take our significant others a bit to get use to the device as well. Warmly, Lisa (SleepApnea.Sleep-Disorders.net/stories (story page) Team Member and Advocate)
