Does anyone know of ANY support groups for sleep apnea patients? (particularly South Carolina?)

When I received my machine and accessories from the medical supply office, in the literature was the address of the American Sleep Apnea Assoc.
1424 K Street NW
Suite 302
Washington,DC 20005
telephone: 202-293-3650
Their website is http://WWW.sleepapnea.org

I joined the association and they sent me info on the nearest A.W.A.K.E. group. They will send you the info with the telephone number that you can call.
If you join,you can also order a medical alert bracelet or necklace.
I have the bracelet.
It is very important if you were in an accident for the medical personnel to know that you have sleep apnea.
My meeting is tomorrow night,the 17th,and I am very eager to see what goes on. It is in a town only 30 minutes away from my home.

Hope this info helps you
