Re: Newbie would like to hear success stories, please.

No one could figure out why I had to urinate 3 to 4 times a night. They did a bunch of tests of me and none provided the answer. Recently after a colonoscopy a anesthesiologist recommended I have a sleep test because I may have sleep apnea. As it turns out I have severe sleep apnea. With my bipap I ...
