In 2006, I stayed overnight with a friend who has Sleep Apnea and they told me to get tested immediately. Knowing I'd be asked questions, I asked my husband (who's known me since I was 16) when the snoring got bad. He laughed and said "It's always been that bad and I married you anyway!" So while I've gained considerable weight over the last 40 years, and I can't prove it, I think I had Sleep Apnea when I was a 125 lb teenager. The difference in how I felt the first week I was using a CPAP was astounding! I'd like to see the CPAP manufacturers work more closely with women users. I have a terrible time finding a mask that fits my small girly face. They're so expensive, I'll put up with an the ill-fitting mask until its time to replace it.
