fibromyalgia, sleep apnea & cpap

Question:
has anyone here found that successful cpap use improved the symptoms of their fibromyalgia? considering that some of the research claims that the deprivation of deep sleep causes fms...should I be optimistic????


Answer:
I sleep with a CPAP every night. I do at least sleep, where as I used to just lay in bed a lot and quit breathing. Your question involve the "chicken or the egg" theory. Does FMS cause sleep deprivation or does sleep deprivation cause FMS? Although I do sleep better with the CPAP, my symptoms have never changed for the better as a result.
