Warning! Your Police Officer's Sleep Disorder May Be Hazardous to Your Health

9. YES...

...and I would like to add that I was in the normal weight range. However, when my apnea started, my
weight climbed and of course, worsened the apnea.

You make a good point. Just because you are thin or of normal weight--doesn't mean you can't have sleep apnea.
And if it goes undiagnosed, it can cause weight gain, which only exacerbates the apnea.

I hear you, regarding the horrible symptoms. I was "cured" of the apnea, after I lost 50 lbs. Now, I'm sliding
backward and the apnea is returning and I'm starting to feel all of those old symptoms again. I talk and I
have trouble finding words for what I want to say. It's very bizarre.

I am NOT going back there though. After getting well, and now I'm backsliding--I'm going to scratch and claw my
way back to normal again.

I wish you the best and I am glad you finally got your diagnosis. You must have been so incredibly tired and
debilitated when you went undiagnosed for so long. It's so difficult isn't it? Every day is a foggy struggle
when you have untreated apnea.
