Good luck, man, seriously.

You might also want to call up or visit the Social Security Administration and whatever agency administers Medicaid in your city, tell them your situation, and see what they have to say.

my doctor suggested I might have this, in conjunction with whatever fucking sinus problems I've been having.
I seem to remember Chris V suggesting I might have this about 3 years ago when I mentioned trouble sleeping at night, though at the time I never had the same daytime fatigue as I do now.
So does anyone else have it? I have to get tested next week, at this stage I would settle for any kind of progress.

He is convinced I don't have it, that I'm just envious of his high-tech air compressor. But out of desperation, I bought this mouth-thing called SnorBan (which was godawful expensive). It's a pain in the ass to sleep with it wedged in your mouth - so far I wake up each night and wrench it out and my jaw pops in and out of joint for 15 minutes or so. BUT! I'm not snoring, and I'm not waking up over and over again in the night, and my brain is 1000% more functional at work.

They can't sell them in the US as anti-snoring devices, because of the FDA, so they are sold as sports mouthpieces.

The resultant brain damage has left me unable to spell Apnea
Oh wait
All better

Next, a C-Pap machine is fitted for you according to what the results of the first home test were. (the C-Pap is the machine that blows air into your nose).
It's a very surreal sensation, and the first few nights it was hard to take. But now, like anything else, I am used to it, and I am SO GLAD I looked into this whole thing.
I am no longer cripplingly tired (I was falling asleep driving in traffic in the middle of the day and hadn't seen a full movie in 5 years).
Kaiser paid for everything, including the machine, which are usually pretty expensive (you can buy - shudder - used ones on eBay, I think).The machine is light and easy to transport. My girlfriend is incredibly thankful for it, too.
Good luck with it. Finally getting this treated was literally life changing for me. Let me know if you have any other questions.

Yeah. Isn't it linked to crib death?
