There should be someway of blocking her vote. Maybe if we listed her as a "FOE"!! You know she won't tell the truth!!!

That I know of - (like heart attacks & other health ailments) OSA has NO age requirements or restrictions from age, gender, race, or religion. Definitely an equal opportunity employer.

I think it has more to do with how old you were when you were diagnosed.

How about another poll asking if you feel younger since you started on cpap.
I still think I am 20 years old that's why I wake up sore, not because I am getting older.

It looks like older people voted more during the middle of the day
and people in the 30's & 40's voted more toward the end of the day after working hours.
Hmmm, makes sense.

My excuse for voting mid-day is that I work from home and was taking a break. Yes, thats it... and I'm sticking with it.

Well, all you youngsters that hit the 60th key, just remember that you're in the same DECADE as I am. (that's the 7th decade).
In just a few short years, you'll start your 8th decade. Ha Ha
Nothing like a little positive news to start the day off.

That is a nice looking bell curve. Makes me think that those of us who are older should have started cpap much earlier. I wish I had.
