Same for me too!

I felt like superman after the first time I used it.

It's been a few years, and I haven't slept a single night without CPAP.

Looking back, I am amazed at how well I was able to function at all.

I think not only is my quality of life improved, but I think it's also extended my life. I know that chronic sleep deprivation leads to a variety of illnesses (heart disease, high blood pressure, diabetes..etc...).

One of the worst effects of it that I can think of, is that sleep apnea in general can lead to a slowed metabolism which can make weight gain easier, which leads to more severe sleep apnea causing a runaway condition that causes all of those other illnesses to get worse.
