I'm having 24 arousals an hour, my oxygen saturation seems to stay around 90%. Didn't get titrated for a CPAP. Apparently it took 6 hours before I hit REM sleep, and I only had 26 minutes of REM.
Do you have muscle pain? Because, for me, the hardest part of the sleep apnea was crazy muscle pain. Massage was the only thing that helped. Oh! and real, live sleep, of course!
I have some RSI from mouse use, but otherwise not much muscle pain.
No suggestions for treatments yet. I just received the summary of my sleep study in the mail, which said I have "moderate obstructive sleep apnea" and recommended follow up. Which I already have scheduled for two weeks from now.
You're on a CPAP? And you like it? Navarre used to use a CPAP before his surgery, and he said he had issues tolerating it.

My life has generally improved since I started the CPAP program. As much as I hate hospitals, I'm so glad I went and got the tests and everything Chris
That is something they have some ideas on how to handle. While I know we're not jumping for joy that you have sleep apnea, a sleep disorder they might could have ideas how to handle is better than one that leaves them clueless.

Do you know how many arousals you're having per hour? Did you get titrated for a CPAP? What are your numbers? How low did your oxygen go?
You will be amazed at the changes in your body and your life when you start with the treatment!
Do you have any questions?
