I was diagnosed about 5 years ago. it wasn't easy in the beginning. It never is. It was writing about my experiences that allowed me to accept my condition and to live with it. I still have bad days. As an advocate, I recently launched Life With Apnea which is a blog dedicated to sleep apnea and other sleep issues. I hope to help others with this condition and lead to better lives. Writing for SD was the inspiration for my blog. Together we can work towards better sleep. 😀
