Thanks to everyone for the replies. I went to the sleep center Monday night for my titration. I used the nasal mask. I woke up feeling refreshed despite the center waking me at 5 am to discharge me. My results showed the number of AHI(i think that is what is was called went from 43.5 to 8) i woke up feeling refreshed. I received a message from the NP today saying she reviewed the results and ordered an auto pap machine for me. She said i should hear from the DME dept. in a couple of weeks. I have to say I am looking forward to getting started with it.

Great news!

Please keep us informed of your progress.

One thing I was warned about: After starting with the CPAP, the first few nights I had incredibly vivid dreams, including some startling nightmares. They didn't persist. Apparently, it's one way the brain reacts to finally getting deep sleep after prolonged deprivation.

Unpleasant, but for me it was a tiny price to pay for finally getting some rest!
