Almost all of us on this forum know how you feel due to sleep deprivation.

After several small surgeries and CPAP getting tougher and tougher due to increased pressure, I was ready for a trach, or to check out. One of my Drs said there is no Dr in this town that will do a trach on you because you look young and healthy.

I finally went to Stanford and did MMA. Got my life back. Completely functional. Please consider it.

There are a lot of treatment bias in sleep medicine. Look around and get more opinions. In the end, it's your decision.

Wish you luck,
