Thank you to all who have and all who will comment. To answer a few questions I have been on the CPAP almost two years. I had some success in the beginning but even with the pressure being boosted up there is no continual good results. Things vary from season and from time to time the Doctor GP said he believes that I have COPD.The ENT that did the sinus surgery had me started on allergy shots but the boss took me off the streets in an area where I could get by and get shots at lunch or between service calls (I service copiers).

Someone said let it go it is hard to do that and I am stuborn if I let it go what happens to the next guy who suffers from this disability worse or in a different way than I do. Maybe if I stand up and fight it will help others later maybe even my own kids since I understand OSA may run in families. My disability is no different than the coworkers who have diabetes and pass out in customers offices or those who are hearing impaired who the company gives a text pager to so they can function it is a disability that affects many people who are hard working individuals. (oops sorry for the soap boxing). Again thank you for all your comments and help. In closing I wish sandman would write more on that book it is very interesting but I am dying to know why the sweat and the smell I have been thru chapter 4 andhave not found it yet. LO
