Do you have sleep apnea?
We would love to share your story! It doesn’t matter how long ago you were diagnosed, what age or gender you are, or even if your sleep apnea is treated or not. It helps others to hear stories that they can relate to, and it also helps us understand what issues people with sleep apnea face.
With approx half of all people diagnosed with sleep apnea struggling with CPAP and oral appliance therapy, it is important to us that people realise that treatment for sleep apnea is not as hard as it may seem and that the benefits far outweigh the risks of untreated sleep apnea. One of the best ways we can do that is with the help of those that have found the right treatment for them and have come out the other side and are now living well and enjoying life.
