Inspiring ways to be well.

I am a stay-at-home mother of one and have been homeschooling my daughter for the past four years. I have suffered from sleep apnea since I was a baby and also deal with Chronic Major Depression.

After getting a nasal obstruction removed, I've undergone extensive testing at a sleep clinic since I stop breathing every five minutes when asleep. With wires glued to my scalp, sensors up my nose, and small computers attached to me while sleeping I have a pretty good idea of what goes on when one deals with a serious case of sleep apnea. When breathing machines and medication that made me gain 20 lbs. in one week didn't work, I had to figure out something else.
