you are so right. I also have severe obstructive sleep apnea. Mine was diagnosed when I could not function, mentally. I was taking wrong routes home from work and getting lost, and I had to stop and think about where I was going even before I left my driveway. I also had extreme weakness of my arms. Thank goodness I was diagnosed. I also have slept with a CPAP machine going on 15 years. I hate the thing, but I am healthier with it. My doctor said if I lost weight, I might be able to toss it. I am very obese, so I know that does not help matters. As you stated, do not mess around with it. I also know of those who died from sleep apnea. IT IS A VERY SERIOUS CONDITION!
