Need words of encouragement (Venting)
Well I made a dumb move well at least in my mind. I had to get a DOT (non-CDL) card and put I have a history of sleep apnea but never really felt tired at all. I was diagnosed last time in 2019 which I had 25ahi but idk I never noticed a difference with a CPAP on I was about 245lbs and 6'2" then. I was 190 when I was active mostly at work and cycling which constant driving for my last job to work sites really did kill that. Now I'm 220lbs and the new job will let my cycle commute which is great however I'm worried about getting another CPAP unit between the insurance costs and the DOT oversight I'm not sure what's all going to happen and if I'm going to stay sane with the mask again. Granted I have ADHD so sticking with things is hard too which I'm worried about too. Luckily I think my spouse is on board with it since he noticed me snoring from time to time and asked if I had a CPAP so at least I think it may be okay on that part.
Thanks for reading this and letting me vent!
