A Sincere Thank You

[tinkerbell72]

i came on here as a long shot. I needed masks and could not afford them due to job and insurance loss. Although I'm working temp, I have no insurance and could not pay the out of pocket expenses. I never realized how this would affect my sleep apnea, until my mask broke, and I couldn't contact my doctor for a new shipment

Two members sent me masks, they even paid to ship. This was not anything they had to do, but chose to do, and it couldn't have been more appreciated. One mask is a wisp and the other is a comfort gel blue. Both of these are much different from what I was used to, but guess what...they work, and I am eternally grateful.

I was diagnosed with severe obstructive sleep apnea last June. I did my sleep study in May and got my machine in June. My sleep study showed that I was waking up around 96 times an hour. My AHI was off the charts. Most days I walked around in a haze. My doctor said he didn't even know how I was able to continue going to work and school. I hadn't had a real nights sleep in probably well over a year. I wasn't getting any REM sleep. This diagnosis was crucial to me. My sleep apnea is probably weight related....and that is my biggest struggle. It's so easy for someone to talk on the outside how to get healthy, but being able to do it on the inside is totally different.

Anyway, I wanted to say thank you, specifically to Lindalpr (I hope I got the name right lol) and Postitnote. I am very appreciative and I will pay it forward
