[QUOTE="Mr. 7, post: 1232492, member: 31551"] I was diagnosed with mod. to severe sleep apnea about 3 yrs. ago. Was put on C-pap. Agree with whoever said it seems that the apnea doctors want you on C-pap and "nothing else will work" according to them. (b'c keeping you on a prescription for the rest of your life pays their bills). I hate it! If I wear it all night or, none at all, I feel exactly the same the next day. Problem is, as a DOT driver, you [U]have[/U] to wear it. After every yearly physical, I have to go to my apnea Dr. and get him to sign off on the memory card in my machine that shows how often and how long I've worn it for the past 30 days. I feel like a prisoner. I think the C-pap machine is causing physiological problems with me and anxiety about going to sleep. I also think the humidifier causes problems with my sinuses. I'm looking at surgery next year to remove my uvula and poss. tonsils. [/QUOTE]
