Thanks everyone for giving my daughter such good guidance and starting me on my way to dealing with sleep apnea. She found an apap machine and I have been on it almost 3 weeks. Things are looking up every day as I get use to it. You guys and gals are the GREATEST....thanks again.

Thanks everyone for your contribution. I am most appreciative. So far I feel like total crap in the morning...even worse than before.... and have not been able to log more than 5.5 hours of sleep with the machine but I am optimistic if I stay with it...things will get much better.
