I can only encourage you to read the postings that
others have made on this board regarding the ser-
iousness of Sleep Apnea. This IS a life threaten-
ing sickness. Luckily, CPAP is a solution. It may
not be the most lovely thing to look at during the
night, but medicine has not discovered anything
better. Reconsider your vanity- the alternative to no CPAP is only to get sicker and possibly
have more serious problems. No one enjoys wearing
a mask and having a machine pump in air, but, we
all manage because WE HAVE TO. Good luck to you.
