besides the fact that a cpap machine keeps your airway unobstructed and results in increased blood oxygen, could it be that the filter on the cpap is keeping you from breathing in irritants which result in your getting a headache and which may be why you get the headache a few hours after you get up still.
Not according to the sleep doctor. I really am not sure of anything anymore. The doctor says if the headaches do not go away, we have to go down another path, with the shoulder pain and all, he is thinking fibromyalgia, which is something else I do not need to deal with. I think the headaches all stemmed from the malnutrion from my gluten eating years, which also can account for so many other problems of mine!

We urge all doctors to take time to listen to your patients.. don't "isolate" symptoms but look at the whole spectrum. If a patient tells you s/he feels as if s/he's falling apart and "nothing seems to be working properly", chances are s/he's right!
