. . . . for this early diagnosis. When I was diagnosed last year at age 43, I'm sure that I had had it for at least 25 years.

CPAP has done wonders for me. If I were 23, I might have considered tonsilectomy. However, CPAP is relatively inexpensive, and you can still have surgery later.

Also, after you've been successfully treated for Sleep Apnea, you may wish to revisit the diagnosis or depression. This is a very common misdiagnosis among apnea sufferers.
