I hate my CPAP but

I've worn it for 10 years and am grateful to have it.  If not, I would be dead.  Before the CPAP I felt like I was rising from the grave each morning.  I had terrible muscle pains in the sides of my chest from trying to breathe all night.  I had constant dreams of being hung or strangled.  And a couple of times I know that death had a hand on my shoulder just as I woke up gasping.
