    My name is Dr. Jonathan Greenburg, DDS and I just read your very educational post.

     

    I appreciate the fact that you are getting the word out and I consider every act of educating people about Sleep Apnea and Snoring potentially saving lives. I know, I treat it everyday.

     

    I had someone come into my office not too long ago that had fallen asleep at the wheel and killed someone. That person is not the same person after the accident. Treatment is critical for those who find themselves waking up tired, though they have had a "good nights rest"..it can be sleep apnea... snoring..can be a symptom of sleep apnea..

     

    I am in Southern California near Los Angeles. If you, or someone you know may be at risk...PLEASE get treatment! If you are in Southern California, then please get in touch with me. I want to help you.

     

    You can find out more at my website: http://www.apnea-treatment.com

     

    Just sign up for the free one hour interview I did..covered all the treatment options and great information

    Others might find our Understanding Sleep Apnea section of particular interest here.  It has lots of information on this issue. As well, review our Sleep Apnea Guide.

     

    Also anyone who wants to post to this topic please feel free - the more people we have helping education and inform out there the better! 

     

    Take care - SMM

    Thank you for your support. I have downloaded your interview and look forward to listening to it. I would have been in touch sooner but spent most of the last half of 2007 in the hospital (not sleep related.) I will probably contact you after I listen to the interview.
