Yes, I also was diagnosed with Sleep Apnea. For sure go to a reputable Sleep Clinic where they study you overnight. Dr. Raj Kakar in Plano (Dallas, TX area) is Stanford trained and is the best. A majority of the sleep masks are HORRIBLE but...lucky for you I have been through the ringer with these and the BEST one I am able to tolerate is the ResMed Swift FX for Her. It's a small nasal pillow that is supported by a strap over top of head. I also use a chin strap to keep my mouth closed so the air can't escape and come in through the nose at full strength. It has a PINK soft pillow strap. A C-Pap is sooo not sexy in the bedroom BUT at least it's pink.:) Yes, I'm single with a C-Pap but the first time I used it all night I actually woke up at 7am on Saturday! And I did feel rested for the first time in my life. It really helps.

Oh and one more thing....most with Fibro don't get deep quality sleep. We for sure need deep REM sleep so our cells, muscles and bodies can recover and rejuvenate. Without this deep sleep, it makes my Fibro or anyone's Fibro worse! Deep Sleep for 9-10 hours is so important for us with Fibro. Many actually have Sleep Apnea and don't know it. Get tested, it was a game changer for me. I felt like I actually had a chance to manage/HAVE the Fibro and Fibro NOT have me!

Hi CharleneFipps, from what I have read over the years and all the alternative med docs I have been to....ANY type of obstruction of oxygen to the brain and your body's cells will worsen any condition. I believe lack of oxygen is linked. With my Fibro and trying to find solutions for myself I've learned that lack of oxygen to the body worsens inflammation and makes it impossible for muscle recovery. Then there's another part, its the lack of oxygen on a cellular level.... my cells and blood cells are not producing enough oxygen to be carried throughout my body. Diet, nutrition, supplements, plant based protein shakes, juicing are an absolute for me to help the inside of my body create oxygen on a cellular level. This is why you always read about the importance of eating green leafy vegetables (plant based diet)...plant cells carry oxygen. I'm not a doctor, just a Wellness Warrior wanting answers and solutions that work! I'm forever researching and learning how to find answers for myself and others. Hope you find a great C-Pap machine and mask that works for you "ResMed Swift FX for Her" is my preferred C-Pap mask. I am trying to maintain OXYGEN to my body during sleep with a C-Pap machine and then trying to bring in oxygen on a cellular level through diet and nutrition. It's hard to find what works but I agree with you CharleneFipps, I think lack of oxygen is linked.

I do n I have CPAP MACHINE N I TAKE BREATHING TREATMENTS! I have a,real hard time breathing at different times n I was w COPD right after I was diagnosed w Fibromyalagia so could this b a connection? Hugs n prayers to u all!

Me too! And @Wellness Warrior I use the same mask!
