When I got the machine, full face mask, it was so cumbersome at first, my I slept better than I had in such a long time, dreamt, and could relax.. wasn't waking up gasping for air, woke up in the morning feeling like the rest of the world did after a full night sleep and what a difference it made in my mood, awareness and activity!
Its scary, and it was one of the motivating factors I had to finally lose weight. Not being able to wear a bikini didn't matter so much to me... but the possiblity of dying in my sleep horrified me and made me realize how much my weight had become a co-morbidity.
Not only does having sleep apnea run the risk of sudden death, it also causes long term damage to organs being deprived of oxygen throughout the night as well. Do your research on it and it will inspire you to call around and get on a rental for sure. Its so important. I am not trying to scare you, at all, its a scary enough thing - but I don't wish for you to think it isn't necessary and put yourself in harms way either.
