    Re: Sleep Apnea SUCKS!

    I slept at the doctors office last night to get checked for sleep apnea. Turns out I do have it.Sleep Apnea is when you stop breathing in your sleep which results in a bad nights sleep. I stopped breathing 97 times in my sleep last night. I had to sleep with 23 things hooked on me. It sucked pretty bad. Now I have to sleep with this machine that shoots oxygen into my nose. At one point I stopped breathing for 53 seconds.Not fun [​IMG]

    unfortunately it's a condition that tends to stay. My aunt has it. Yeah, it sucks, but once you get that machine it's manageable.

    my aunt says the same. Also she got a boat battery so that she can go camping etc with it. So really, it isn't as bad as it may sound at first. You can deal with it and live a normal life.

    ^It doesn't fix it. It makes it so you can deal with it. I will probably have to sleep with this machine for the rest of my life. Its not as bad as it sounds.

    My dad's had it for a long time. It's really not as bad as some of you guys are thinking. Hell, most machines nowadays have just a relatively quiet buzz.On the bright side, that machine will keep you refreshed no matter how long you sleep. My dad could sleep for four hours, but wake up just like he slept eight hours.
