Now me, I never knew I had sleep apnea. I thught that only happened to people who fell asleep while you were talking to them. Another symptom I have, directly related to sleep apnea, and I didn't realize it: after an apnea episode, I would seem awake, and would be mumbling, yet never remembered doing it...my daughter had a lot of laughs about this, not realizing I actually was not awake.

I have 2 sons with sleep apnea, and I still never recognized it in myself. My neuro took one look at me and suspected it. Now that I know more about it, it's kind of scary.

Thanks for the link.

We urge all doctors to take time to listen to your patients.. don't "isolate" symptoms but look at the whole spectrum. If a patient tells you s/he feels as if s/he's falling apart and "nothing seems to be working properly", chances are s/he's right!
