Seeing Dr. Ezenwa at MelioREM for my sleep apnea was one of the best decisions I’ve ever made. He’s incredibly knowledgeable — the kind of doctor who listens, nods once, and already knows exactly what you need before you finish your sentence. I barely had to explain my situation; he understood it right away and had a plan that actually worked.
My apnea was severe. We’re talking over one hundred apnea events AN HOUR (yes, you read that right). I used to be so exhausted that I could point out every single spot on my long drives where I’d have to stop and nap, just so I wouldn’t fall asleep behind the wheel. It was dangerous and unsustainable. I resigned myself to thinking that if anything kills me, it would be my apnea. I figured that someday I would just not wake up, suffering from a lethal lack of oxygen overnight.
From day one of receiving my CPAP, I felt absolutely amazing... better than I’d ever felt in my entire life. I know that sounds dramatic, but honestly, sleep apnea is no joke, and getting real treatment literally changed everything for me.
With my CPAP, I’m now averaging one or two events an hour. The difference is immediate and life-changing. I finally wake up feeling rested. I’m safer. I’m healthier. I’m myself again.
If you’re sitting on the fence, worried about the mask or thinking you’ll never get used to it.... trust me, it is absolutely worth it. You will not look back.
