How Often do you use CPAP?

Recent studies have shown that some people give up with CPAP, often due to reasons such as lack of follow-up and little patient education. However, using CPAP provides long term benefit and it only works if you use it properly.

What do you guys think? Have you tried CPAP and has it worked for you? I am interested in your replies.

  1. CPAP is working very well for me. This is week 4. On day 3 my LIFE woke up after a long slumber. This is one of the most mismanaged areas of medicine! Patients are not followed up with, not educated and thus not ready for this treatment. My best advice is to EVERYONE who gets a new CPAP; find a support group or intenet FORUM to help you undrstand this treatment! It is the most effective, but has a steep learning curve and many of the "professionals" are not follwing up!
