A Question Spurs a Lesson in Apnea Treatment

Thanks for answering my question so much more in-depth.  Now I understand the point of your queries.  I appreciate your time and effort to address this issue.

Cheers!

Thanks so much for elaboratin on this question for the rest of our readers.  I think sometimes folks feel really stuck in the cycle they are in and get resigned to things like sleep apnea, chronis pain etc.  Sometimes there are no solutions and it is what it is.  But maybe there are medications not yet tried or alternative therapies that could eleviate, if not solve, a person's problem.  All they have to do is ask!  It is definitely time to be an active participant in your own health care!

All the best, sue
