Sleep Apnea Support Group
Sleep apnea is a common sleep disorder characterized by brief interruptions of breathing during sleep. People with sleep apnea partially awaken as they struggle to breathe, but in the morning they may not be aware of sleep disturbances.
Currently I am not feeling well and getting tired quickly as I have just been diagnosed with low white cell count. I have quite a few test to go until I know the cause of this and treatment. For months I couldn't work out what was wrong with me - I am sleeping very well with CPAP. In the end I thought I was depressed or needed to change my life (or getting old at a fast rate!). I now feel that I have permission to rest, live slowly and wait for probably several months to sort this out. I think the pressure I was putting on myself and the psychological stuff that was happening was worse than the physical complaint!
You are a special person, the condition of your body does not define who you are. Be kind to yourself, explain to people what your situation is and enjoy what you can while you are waiting. God bless, Ruth
