Hi everyone,
Some thoughts on sleep apnea. But, first, I should point out that I disagree with what Filliam said about the medical industry and the "low fat (but high sugar)" meme. Blaming the medical industry makes it as if they are responsible for what people eat and that's just wrong. It's the other way around. People are responsible for what they eat, not the medical industry.
A sleep study can be done at home. I did that once and as well as one at a clinic. I preferred the one done at a clinic. There was someone monitoring it 24/7 and any issues with equipment were quickly resolved. I'm betting it was more accurate, too.
Sleep Apnea can be controlled. I tried a CPAP machine and it was a nightmare. It didn't matter what type of mask and such. I couldn't get much, if any, sleep and felt far worse as a result. Never again. I didn't bother with a dental appliance. I controlled it via weight loss.
I didn't get rid of sleep apnea entirely but I improved so much that it was no longer an issue.
