I just got diagnosed with sleep apnea, but I’m going to have to wait a long time for treatment. AISH disability health benefits should cover it, but they’ll require additional testing. I don’t know how long the wait list will be, but many months or possibly more year. This is affecting the quality of my sleep, my anxiety is being triggered and sleep affects my bipolar episodes and my migraines. I wish they would just accept the level 3 testing that I got, but apparently my bipolar meds mean I need the more extensive level 1 test. It’s inpatient, overnight, and someone said Covid-19 is delaying it at some facilities (I don’t know about the one that I would go to.) The problem is that I have to go without treatment for now.
