from Brenda, posted as comment to "
Sleep Apnea Death" article:
"I have severe sleep apnea. When I was at the sleep clinic, they said at one time I didn't breathe for a full minute. I've tried and tried to use my CPAP and can't. I can't sleep with it at all. I have been back to the doctor more than once telling him about my problem, and he gives me sleeping pills to take which only help some. I haven't used my machine now for over a year. The other night I think I stopped breathing long enough that I might have been close to death. I felt this wonderful feeling of being surrounded by love and security. I didn't want to quit "dreaming" but now I'm afraid of what that was. I am afraid to go to sleep. I don't know what to do. I am extremely overweight (323 lbs.) and trying to lose the weight but it's a slow go. I have pre-diabetes and high blood pressure. Does anyone have any suggestions that could help me?"
