| What is your name?: | Courtney Kane |
| Where are you from?: | Woodbridge, VA |
| Tell us about why you use CPAP and how you got diagnosed.: | I went to the doctor to get tested thinking there was nothing wrong with me. I was honoring my husband who had been diagnosed a year prior due to me nagging him about it because he stopped breathing while sleeping. My husband had recorded me sleeping to show me how badly I was snoring and not breathing. After the first test the lady came in to wake me and told me I had bad sleep apnea. I was shocked. They did another test with the pap this time and I slept so well. |
| What do you LOVE about CPAP treatment?: | How long I can sleep now without waking up. Especially on my days off. Then when I do wake up I feel better. I used to wake up 20 plus times a night not realizing that I was not breathing. Now I rarely wake up and get better rest. Added bonus my hubby has a CPAP and we joke that we are dueling Darth Vaders. |
| Any advice for other CPAP Babes?: | Stick to it. For me it was incredibly hard the first week. The CPAP made me MORE tired of you can believe it. My body was actually breathing all night and I was getting better sleep but I was exhausted. The more I used it the better I felt. I’m so glad I kept with it because the difference in my life is amazing! Now I realize how poorly I was sleeping before. So don’t give up! |
