Fell asleep at the wheel and had a pretty bad car accident between diagnosis and getting that CPAP (still using that same machine today) but luckily wasn’t hurt. Didn’t help the front end of my Dodge minivan, though.
Only lost my business in Katrina, and moved here to Fort Worth and doing okay.
My husband fell asleep at the wheel (luckily I was in the car and screamed and he woke up and we stayed on the road.) But that led to diagnosing his sleep apnea, and he has worn his Bi-pap machine every night since, must be three or four years now. He has to be the most faithful CPAP wearer there is. He dislikes it, the cold air blows on his arm or some other discomfort bothers him but he won’t stop wearing it. And he gets good sleep now. This article is interesting but it sounds like an infomercial for the oral devices. But it is good to know that there is an alternative for those who can’t tolerate the CPAP.
