Ok, I have a question. I do not have and can not afford medical insurance or assistance in my area. My husband and I suspect that I have sleep apnea. How can I go about getting this diagnosted without it costing me an arm and a leg? I am in PA.

gb, click the "AWAKE" link to check out that site first:

If the AWAKE group can't help, then you might want to consider trying to convince a doctor (any doctor) to simply give you a prescription that has one word on it - "autopap" - and buy your equipment online - be sure to also buy the software for the autopap, if you'll be going it alone. I have no insurance, so that's what I did. Click the topics below for more info you may find useful:
