Thoughts on Sleep Apnea

I was diagnosed with Obstructive Sleep Apnea late last year and received a machine (CPAP) to treat it on January 12th, 2007. I endured sores on the inside of my nostrils to acclimate myself to the machine, insisting on wearing it all night, every night in spite of the recommendations that I wear it for a few hours a night and gradually work up from there.
For the first time in years, I truly woke up.
Without prompting from anyone, I began my diet just over two weeks later and now have lost almost 40 pounds, I work out every day, and feel like I can think again. If you snore or think you might have sleep apnea, talk to your doctor. It might make as huge a difference in your quality of life as it has mine.
