I don't get it! I was just recently diagnosed with Sleep Apnea and I have to use a CPAP machine (which i dont have yet) I work with an RN and she said that if I loose about 20-25lbs it should go away. Since April 16th I've lost 25lbs and I know the weight loss has slowed down already. I read online that you can never fully get rid of Sleep Apnea no matter what you do and because of it, it will be extra hard to loose the weight unless I use the CPAP machine which I can't afford even if I try. I don't know what to do next. I don't even have insurance anymore so I can't go to the doctor to even get a check up anymore. This sucks!
