so under appreciated, yet so deadly.
i would add that if you are overweight, you likely have it because of that, and will be better able to control that if you get treated.

it is amazing to me the buck they are making off cpaps. a plastic box w a fan, a chip as dumb as a commadore 64, $1200-1500 bucks. and they arent getting any smarter as far as i know.

but those dreams. oh my god do i hate the apnea dreams.
