SNORING
I recently got a new roomate. She is petite and cute as a button. In fact, we are getting pretty close. There is only one problem. She snores like a freight train. I can imagine someone so small and beautiful snoring so loudly. She snores when she naps, when she sleeps at night. The monment she begins to doze off? I can barely get to sleep. I lay in bed waiting for her to fall asleep. It can be torture!!! I think I love her but I am truly concerned. You can hear her in the other room..
Follow-up
If you've spent any time at all reading this forum or the information available on this site, you already know what you should be doing: you must insist that your friend visit a competent doctor right away! You didn't ask for advice in your posting, so perhaps you are just complaining to what you expect will be a "sympathetic" audience. Well, I for one wish someone had insisted that I see a doctor for my snoring over 15 years ago. Perhaps then I wouldn't have lost two relationships over it (even if you love someone deeply, snoring will eventually kill that love). Since your relationship is just starting (I have to ask why you have moved in together so soon) there can't not be a depth of attachment that will support enduring (or accommodating) her disability. So, I would ask you (again): what's holding you back? And, loud snoring isn't her only symptom, or is it? Since you posted this message on the Apnea forum, I assumed you must also detect breathing interruptions as well as snoring (or don't you?). In any case, I'll ask (again): why are you wasting time posting complaints on this forum? HERE'S WHAT TO DO: Make plans to consult a doctor trained in this disorder. Call your local hospitals and ask if there is a sleep clinic near you. Please don't expect your family MD to be competent enough to treat sleep disorders (in my experience, that usually is a big waste of time). Good luck, and please do something today for her!
