Feb 2019

I’m on my third type of machine and it took two years to get to the point that I could sleep with it at all. I think I’ve tried all of the types available. 🙁

Yeah, if I move at night, my mask leaks so that’s why I don’t move and it hurts my back badly to lie still all night. I also have to tighten my mask so much that mask lines are visible until noon and i have permanent bruising under my eyes nowadays.

I didn’t have the hangover feeling before, I was exhausted and sleepy but not this whole body ache, headaches, stiffness and just feeling bleh.

But I stop breathing for up to four minutes at night with 90+ occurrences so I’m stuck.
