Re: Newly diagnosed, trying to stay positive

Hi Rambling, I appreciate your comments. Unfortunately I haven't even seen a sleep specialist yet, and the wait times I alluded to earlier for CPAP are for those who have already seen a sleep specialist, so the wait for CPAP for me could be closer to June at this rate.
