I just realized tonight that after having my CPAP for 5 years, the chronic shoulder pain I’ve lived with since I was a child is gone. My shoulder pain came from sleeping on my arms at night, to the point that they would lose circulation and feeling. Sometimes I even tore my shoulder trying to turn over when is lost feeling in my arms. I thought everyone must sleep like that and didn’t realize I had sleep apnea and I was using my arms to help prop myself up. Now with my CPAP I can comfortably sleep on my back, and it has been years since I’ve had shoulder pain.

I highly recommend a CPAP for all around good health!

    I’ve been so happy my husband got a cpap. He’s been so much more rested with it it’s amazing.

    And I no longer have to shove him a dozen times a night to get him to stop snoring so I can also get some sleep lol.
