I had

sleep apnea bad when I was on steroids, still have it! Sometimes snore louder then other times,

and I never did before this disease!!

I find that when I am really tired I snore more! I took the test at a hospital out

patient place, and they hook you up

to all these monitors and you sleep, then they come in about hour and readjust

your belts as they can’t pick up what they need, what a joke, I was so

tired when I left, I wasn’t sure I was going to make it home without

falling asleep! The doc said I have

sleep apnea, but that the CPAP would probably drive me crazy. The person offered to put it on me

toward the end of the test, but told me I only had an hour left and probably

couldn’t tell in an hour if it worked. I think it was someone who didn’t

want to deal with it, she was stripping the sheets off

the bed almost before I was out of it!!

But it seems to me that a lot of “us” have it.

That’s

my story!
