My sister has a C-Pap and has gained unbelivable energy. So I guess it depends on each individual's situation. I had to quit work on Sept 1 after being at my job (which I absolutely loved) for 12 years. I was missing about 3 days/week and I couldn't keep up with the needs of my clients. I don't know what I'm going to do. I pray for guidance. I am filing for disability but don't know if I will get it. I was diagnosed with fibromyalgia in June 2007. So it took about a year before I just couldn't work anymore. I wish you well!
Thanks for your encouragement about wearing the CPap mask. I have an appt. next week to have one fitted but am still sort of dreading it. I was hoping that it would help this overwhelming fatigue. I'm at the point that it is getting harder and harder to go to work every day. My health insurance is through work so I don't see how I could quit. What do people do when this happens?
Yes, I have sleep apnea and fibromyalgia along with Type II Diabetes. I wear the C-Pap nightly. In fact, it has become like a security blanket in that I have to have it to even take a nap. My fatigue has not improved. My sleep patterns are so mixed up. I have restless leg syndrome and now my arms have the tingling as well. I have had TMJ surgery x 2 and the C-Pap has not caused any further problems. I also sleep with a mouth splint. The C-Pap mask is very light and the straps can be left loose. I think you should give it a try.
