does anyone have sleep apnea

[UtahPete]

Like jack, I use one. Took a couple of weeks to get used to it, but I sleep like a rock now. Rested is good. Get it, use it, go swimming. Easy on the feet, great exercise.

The VA diagnosed me as having severe sleep apnea a few years back and issued me a CPAP. Takes awhile to get used to but now it's quite natural. I even take it with me motorcycle camping. Makes a huge difference in the quality of my sleep. Mine is non-obstructive apnea; my brain just stops sending signals to my chest to take a breath.

I also use the nasal pillow type; I didn't care for the full mask but I'm sure I could have adjusted to that if I need to (i.e. if I start breathing through my mouth more because of nasal congestion). I live in a very dry climate so do use the humidifier. You may not need that as much in a humid climate unless of course the humidity is low inside your house.

Good luck with it

so that is the reason i am going through all the tests and i am going to have the surgery to try to get my life back and feel better.

I admire you for the steps you are taking to reclaim your health and your life.

John this thread in 2 and a half years old If there was a follow up on your health I missed it. How are you doing? Your still here so that means something. Did the sleeve work,hows the sleep apnea? Are you still on the CPAP?
If you'd rather not give out this information I understand.
