Yes, I used to be one of them. From late 97 until I got on CPAP in mid 2007. CPAP changed things around for me. Anytime CPAP is going OK, Im not disabled. Anytime CPAP falls apart, I slip backwards real fast. The thing about CPAP is its not like psych drugs. CPAP works fast...and if the machine breaks....you fall apart fast. If my CPAP therapy needs tweaking periodically, once it gets tweaked right, I go right back to being better...like within a day or two. Its awesome.
psych drugs its not like that. Its slow, its a PITA, its like throwing darts at a dart board.
My mood and mind and my physical health Ive found is dependent on my sleep apnea being treated with CPAP. If that CPAP aint right, Im as good as dead. I have to still take antidepressants but my anti-depressants work way better on CPAP than off CPAP.
Ive been there, done that. I know severe mood disorders causes chronic disability. I hounded and hounded some of my doctors to the point where some of them almost felt like I was harassing them and got some of my problems fixed.
This is a borderline full contact sport, for me. I dont like being disabled and I dont like being like "that." Its painful and expensive and brings my family down with me. Hence I dont play nice all the time with the medical system.
