I've had a CPAP since 2016, but I never really used it regularly until after I was hospitalized with Covid and pneumonia back in early 2022.

Since then I've it used it more regularly, but I really ramped up usage December of last year, and I've finally gotten used to wearing a mask. It definitely helps me sleep better.

I'm trying to upgrade my old equipment but the VA is chronically slow, but in the meantime I still have my older machine, which runs fine. I have to purchase my own supplies on a regular basis but hopefully that will change once the VA comes through with a new machine for me.

I’ve had sleep apnea for years and none of my doctors would listen to me. I have a new doc and he’s wonderful. He listens. I have to go in for a sleep study since the home device detected moderate obstructive sleep apnea. I have the health issues that goes along with it including the uvula. I’m waiting for my appointment.

I sure hope having a cpap helps me, because I feel terrible all the time.
