State of Health - A Wakeup Call to Arms...

I have been meaning to post about this, as in the last few weeks, I have shared a lot of things about the status of my health.  It seems thats all i post about latley.  I Just needed to admit some things to myself.

Sadly in the last 3 weeks, my health has taken a severe turn for the worse.  IT looks like that all of my health problems, are caused by Sleep Apnea. For the last 14 years at least, I Have not had a restful night sleep.  However it gets worse...

I have a severe case of sleep apnea.  180 events in a 25 minute period. That means i stopped breathing, choked, deprived Oxygen to my brain basically.  This lack of sleep has lead me to have Migraines, Blackouts, Seizures, Mental Breakdowns, and the like.

As some of you saw a few weeks ago, the video i posted was a worrying sign. What some of you do not know, is that a week ago, the neurologist believes that i has a Reversable Stroke in my sleep.  I woke up and the right hand side of my face, and body just didnt work.  Unless i change my lifestyle and get on a cpap machine asap, i could die in my sleep. If i dont change my diet, excersize habits, ill not make it to 35.

So i wont have to answer a lot of questions...

1 - I dont sleep on my back to begin with, so sleeping on my side is not an option.

2 - I havnt excersized as much as i could/should, due to me actually not wanting to, as i was afraid it would screw my knees up more than they are. My knees look like you told a 4 year old what a knee kinda looks like, and they drew it based on that.

3 - I would get the CPAP machine, but right now finances are tighter than i have ever seen. Hopefully by the end of the day, i can get this sorted, so i can complete "Half the battle".

4 - It has taken this long to figure this out, as sleep studies were not a big thing 14 years ago, i was never tested for Sleep Apnea, until a few months ago. Plus the debate of Sleep Apnea Vs Size of person. Remeber i was 75lbs lighter than i am now, and the idea that a 120lbs kid would have this was laughable.

5 - Im posting not to gain sympathy, just to try and process all the crap going on in my head.

Thats your lot. Go forth and wonder.
