Posted by sleepyhubbyrestlesswife on November 26, 2002 at 16:50:45:

Hi everyone, I'm very new at this, so please bare with me. Recently, my husband was admitted to the hospital for some unrelated health issues, while he was there the doctor said that he believed my hubby has sleep apnea.So, the doctor ordered a sleep study, which he took the end of last week. Now we are awaiting to get the results. but also the doctor has ordered him not to drive any vechiles, including his job, which he is a semi-driver. because of this safety issue for him and the other drivers. so now our dimlima is, im on disablity for a lung disease, and now the breed winner is ill, so we dont have any money coming in. how serious is this condition, and what is all the symptoms? and is the severe enough to get disability? is this treatable with mediacation? and treatments? anything i can do at home to help, we dont see the doctor for three weeks, long time!! and if he cant get disability, who would hire someone who falls asleep on a whim! thanks for listening, please respond if you have any words of wisdom or advise, all responses will be answered\1 thanks again
