That the news articles as of late seem to be fairly negative towards people with sleep apnea?

The people writing these articles must be good sleepers...so they have no idea...

Some responses I got when I told people was, " I heard if you lose weight it will take care of that".  Not all sufferers are overweight.  I am, but when you barely have the energy to eat you can't possibly exercise.  Looking forward to all the changes in my life.

Dillmom, you had an interesting point, that people blame our weight for causing our sleep apnea.  I just tell them that I exhibited signed of sleep apnea thirty years ago, when I weighed 120 pounds; that generally changes their attitude!

Sleep apnea is one condition that can put you into a downward spiral physically; the resulting weight gain and lack of energy while in that spiral is a no-brainer.
