last week i was asked by my support tech if i would write a article for a newsletter about my apnea before and after diagnosis. it realy made me feel good that maybe my story could help someone else. does anyone feel the same way? 17 months ago i was nearly dead and had no idea why maybe if their had been more information floating around i might have gotten treated sooner. when i talk to people about apnea they have no idea it is as serious as having cancer, if it's not taken seriously death is the end result. if anyone is interested in telling their story please let me know. stay cool!

I think it's a great idea. I'm thinking about putting a small piece together for posting in the Success Stories thread.

Yes, writing about it is very crucial to getting the word out. Awareness has improved but very slowly and has a long way to go.
If you have a good success story to write about, you might include it in our Success Stories topic which seems to get read quite a bit. The following is a link to it.
