I have sleep apnea. I just found out my medicaid will cover a c-pap and I have an appointment in a couple of days to finally get a cpap.

How did you get diagnosed with sleep apnea? Did you have a sleep study?

I have a cpap but lost insurance so might lose my machine. I'm so frustrated. They didn't sound much like they would work with me either. Ugh!!

I just saw this thread and wanted to say

finally getting my c-pap

I've used a CPAP for years. Best thing I ever got. Insurance paid for a good chunk of it.

Glad to hear the news, shortandcute. My husband uses one of those. It takes some getting used to, but the good sleep is worth it.
Thanks for this!
