Hi. I'm Sammie. My husband was given a CPAP machine about 6 months ago I think... at any rate.. he wore it very well at first, but now every night when I go to bed he doesn't have it on. I wake him up repeatedly until he puts it on ( so I can sleep without listening to him snore!).... then we argue about me waking him up, lol. It's a vicious cycle!
N-Eways, glad to find somewhere that I can vent about him!

Welcome, Sammie,
Venting is a good thing. 
Keep pushing him. Not only is he snoring, his health is at risk without his cpap. So keep trying. BTW, love your website! Linda _________________ Click here for link to FAQ and topics Click here for link to section on machines and masks |

he will live longer if he uses the CPAP, untreated apnea is hard on the heart so give him lots of encouragement
BTW a frequent problem is breathing thru the mouth with any nose only mask, this stops all benefits so watch for it _________________ respironics comfort gell mask,resmed S6 lightweight CPAP, pressure 10 no humidifier NO DOCTOR EVER ASKED ME IF I SNORED |

When your spouse has Sleep Apnea, it is not only him to face Sleep Apnea. It is both of you to work together. I understand how much you have been caring of him to remind him putting on CPAP. Somehow you can let him know your caring so he will take care of himself by not sleeping wihtot CPAP.
