Clarification:No, I wasn’t sick before this started occuring. It was a gradual onset.
Feeling really tired all the time. I can sleep well above the amount of hours you need, and wake up feeling like I’ve been drugged up. If I wake up at 10 AM, I feel almost awake by around 8 PM. I don’t have as much of an issue typing but when I’m talking it’s like I’ve had brain damage or something (I haven’t, to my knowledge.) My movement and metabolism seem slow but my doctor says my thyroid function is in acceptable limits.
I used to give massive presentations where I was speaking without a script, I couldn’t even manage a single sentence without suddenly slurring, mispronouncing a word I know the pronunciation of, fumbling grammar, getting a word back to front or “buffering” for 5+ seconds. I don’t know, I just don’t feel as “present” like I used to, and everything seems dream-like. I have a bit of anxiety about talking to people in person now, because talking seems to use up 100% of my brainpower (same with remembering how to make coffee and use the machine), when before it was an automatic thing.
There’s been several occasions where a sentence will come out perfect but in reverse.
I don’t know if this is related, but people have noticed that since then, my movement has also been slow, as if my arms are underwater and are facing water resistance.
I forgot to clarify that. No, I wasn’t sick. It was a gradual onset.
This person sounds like me before I got on CPAP.
I was living in a deep fog, sleeping 10-12 hours and still needing a nap during work. Would get home from my commute on an 18 lane highway and not remember the whole trip. I would perceive myself talking in slow motion but I don’t know if I actually was or my perception just crashed into the ground.
My life completely changed on CPAP, I felt like a whole new person, so much so that I reintroduced myself to my coworkers. It took me 32 years of my life to feel the concept of awake for the first time. It took a few years to get rid of some of the worst issues but I can’t believe I didn’t kill someone or myself on the road.
This CPAP thing sounds amazing. If only I knew what ot stands for. No, searching doesnt yield anything related
It’s a machine that supports your breathing while you sleep. If you have sleep apnea, you will stop breathing multiple times during the night, which will prevent you from properly resting. CPAP machine connects to a mask on your face and produces a slightly elevated air pressure, which forces air into your lungs.
How do I know of i need one? Also, i see prices from 500€ to 3500€, what is the “OK” price?
