I’ve been using a CPAP machine for a long time. I was fine with the machine the first night and it’s never bothered me. My best friend likely has sleep apnea and started using a machine and tossed it the first night. It’s probably stored away in a closet.

He says it doesn’t work but I think it’s more that he hated it right from the start and refused to use it. I don’t know if he and his wife are still sleeping separately but they were for a long time. It’s sad that rather than trying to figure out why the machine and face mask bothered him so much to cause him to give up on it before he gave it a chance that he just abandoned a device that could save his life.

I don’t want to lose my friend of over 60 years.
