Does anyone use the C-PAP Pro mask for sleep apnea?
Is it worth the money is costs? Is it comfortable, do you get a good restful sound sleep?

I was provided a CPap mask that was paid for by Medicare (their 80% worth, then my supplemental insurance paid other 20%). Personally, I never could quite get used to it, as I still woke up NUMEROUS times during the night, as usual. Also it made me feel a bit clostophoebic as well.
I was advised to continue to try it, and if you don't like one particular mask, the company that supplies it can bring you another to try. Remember that we who have sleep apnea are in danger of DEATH when we actually stop breathing while we sleep.
So I would sugget you at least give it a try, and if that particular one does not feel comfy, get another and keep trying......
GOOD LUCK !!

If you've been advised to get the CPAP for sleep apnea then I would encourage you to at least try it. People with sleep apnea stop breathing for prolonged periods of time. If it goes long enough you may go to sleep and never wake up. So when you think of your options I would go with at least trying the mask.

My mom had one. She slept MUCH easier. I think Medicare provided it, tho. Sorry, don't know the cost, but I know of someone who does use one. He looks like a totally different person, you know, more rested.
