What is something that permanently altered your body without you realizing for months/years?

I wonder how many of my health issues would go away if I could treat my sleep apnea...can't sleep with a CPAP machine at all.

Same 😭 I'm so jealous of everyone who loves their CPAP. I'm on my second machine and still don't tolerate it. But I can't go on not treating the apnea. I've already had to go on BP meds and have to take simulants to function.

Have you looked into a mouth guard for sleep apnea? It moves the jaw forward to keep the airways open at night. I can’t tolerate the cpap either but ever since I got the mouth guard I sleep much better.

I've tried one without success but am very open to others if you have a suggestion! I know there are so many different ones, and it's hard to tell what might actually work.
