I have severe problems and they took me off the Respironics BiPap Auto and put me on the
Respironics BiPap Auto SV unit. It can handle a lot more problems than the BiPap Auto. You may not need the SV, but you will find a lot of knowledgeable people about the machines and symptoms.
Again, no doctors there, no Neurological experts, but it is a good resource. Best wishes for you and hope your 41 years nets you some good treatment. The Air Force screwed me on my last flight physical in '87 and the VA is still at it. Long story. My daughter works for the VA. She was a Ratings Specialist, says the huge push right now is to get the Iraq claims taken care of. WWII, Korea, Vietnam be damned. That is politics. Best wishes for you. You deserve it.

Thanks for the good wishes! I have just started to work with the VA as myasthenia gravis is a presumptive condition for Gulf War vets. The big challenge is going to be convincing them that the central sleep apnea is caused by the nerve disease. It may work out as my Desert Storm physical diagnosed sleep apnea shortly after the Gulf War. I started my military career as a scout in the infantry on active duty in February, 1966 and retired 1 Feb 2007 as a Colonel in the Army Reserve. It was a long career, but very rewarding as I got to meet and work with the best people in the world. Take Care!
