Among the many, many nasty sequelae to obstructive sleep apnea is chronic local and systemic inflammation, and inflammation is associated with pain.

Many here don't like the pap machines, but they solve problems associated with chronic inflammation (and dozens of other issues that we might not even know that we have.)

I started with my cpap machine thinking that I'll put up with it until something better comes along. After a month or so of adaptation (you need to have a desire to succeed and to keep your sense of humor for inevitable, minor issues) I found myself freed from a host of problems - my blood work normalized, my sense of well-being improved (it wasn't all that bad, it just went up from "okay"), and so many other things big and small.

That was almost 20 years ago. Now, I'm so adapted to my "sweet dream machine" that I wouldn't "dream" of sleeping, even napping, without it.

I was told i was gonna feel so much better after using one- i have central apnea- a bit different- but i still have constant over-all muscle pain in the form of burning muscle pain, kinda like lactic acid burn- it happens without any provocation, and is miserable- I was on the machine for many months- it didn’t help a bit- Still had the same exhaustion amd muscle pain and brain fog-
