Might as well say hello

[maverick6597]

Been lurking for a few months, better to interact This is definitely the best board of the ones I’ve checked out, and no need to go elsewhere anymore.

One of those in the 40s trying to recapture former glory. Have done crossfit previously but get the most pleasure from lifting including olympic lifting.

Was on TRT for a few months until it was found I had sleep apnea which explains the low T I had. Just recently got a cpap machine and hope that will help settle things. Then any cycles will be for real gainz instead of just getting back to where I should be.

Been having success lately with carb cycling.

Have a good night everyone

I think some of it has to do with intimidation, at least in my case. I’m not saying it happens here, but I’ve seen other forums where they roast a newbie for asking “stupid” questions. I’ve been reading as much as I can and still feel like I have no idea what to do.

Welcome brother. I too was diagnosed with severe sleep apnea and have been using a cpap machine for years. It truly has changed my life. Now the sleep i get is true REM and when i wake up i feel refreshed where before it didnt matter if i slept 1 hour or 12 i always felt like shit. Feel free to ask about anything we are all here to help

 

[maverick6597]

@MBTJR1980 Hey man. I’m curious what your apnea events were before getting the cpap? I was at 87/hour How long after starting with cpap did you really notice being refreshed? I just got my machine a couple of days ago so getting dialed in over here.

 

[maverick6597]

@Bigmurph Hundreds? Thousands? Now I’m curious lol

@maverick6597 when I first began using a CPAP I became frustrated because it did not feel natural and it isn’t. It took me several weeks and a few mask versions to find what works best for me. I also had to play with the temp and humidity settings to find the best comfort zone. I still will remove my mask about 50% of the time in.my sleep but I can attest I feel 100% better in the morning with it than without it. I average 4 hours with it on a bad night and a complete 7 hours with it on a good night.

My advice is to stick with it until you get used to it and then your sleep will only improve from there. If you find yourself with nasal dryness or congestion try using some saline nasal spray and/or breath right nasal strips. Because I use the nasal pillow mask I found both of these things to be very helpful.
