Thanks I will look for these articles. I know I have had OSA all my life. I really begin to get sick when i was 37 I'm now 43 my husband told the Dr's how bad I was snoring and how I would stop
breathing. I was kept in the hospital for a week
for mental observation. I was sent home on anti depressants. Never once did they offer a sleep a study. It makes me mad to think of all the years
of suffering because they didn't do thier job. I'm not looking for a mircle cure. The Cpap
is doing fine as for as my sleep goes. Matter a fact I just came in from a 3rd sleep study in 6 months. My trouble is I stay so tired all the time. I'm forgetting things. Simple things like
where I parked my car or where I placed something,
more then anything it is becoming harder and harder to remember how to spell things that are simple. What I do remember my mom saying when I got so sick a few years back was that you are doing just like your granny did at the same age.
So of course it makes me wonder what lies ahead and should I tell the Dr this part of my familys
history. Thanks Again
