I REALLY DON'T KNOW IF I SHOULD EVEN BE WRITING THIS AFTER READING SOME OF THE PROBLEMS POSTED HERE. ANYWAY, HERE GOES. I HAVE SEVERE SLEEP APNEA. I STOP BREATHING 46 TIMES AN HOUR DURING SLEEP, IF YOU CAN CALL IT SLEEP. I USE A CPAP MACHINE, BUT IT DOESN'T HELP. I'M SUPPOSE TO ALSO TAKE SLEEP MEDICINE, BUT I CAN'T AFFORD IT,[NO INSURANCE]. MY SLEEP SPECIALIST WON'T RELEASE ME TO WORK BECAUSE OF EXCESSIVE DAY-TIME SLEEPINESS,[I SOMETIMES FALL ASLEEP DRIVING OR EVEN STANDING]. I LOST MY JOB, OF 14 YEARS BECAUSE OF THIS. THIS LOSS INCLUDES ALL BENEFITS WHICH I HAD. MY LONG-TERM DISABILITY, WHICH I HAD THRUOGH WORK, SAYS I'M NOT DISABLED. MY SLEEP SPECIALIST SAYS I'M 100% DISABLED. MY GOVERNMENT IS MAKING ME JUMP THROUGH HOOPS WHILE I'M TRYING TO GET SOCIAL SECURITY DISABILITY. MEANTIME, I'VE SOLD ALL THINGS WHICH ARE IMPORTANT TO ME, MOSTLY TO PAWN SHOP, FOR A FRACTION OF THEIR VALUE, JUST TO GET FOOD-GAS-AND TO HAVE MONEY FOR LITTLE THINGS FOR MY 12 YEAR OLD SON. I HAVE ALREADY BEGGED ALL MONEY I CAN GET OFF OF MY RELATIVES, AND MY WIFE'S RELATIVES. MY WIFE WORKS, BUT ALL HER INCOME GOES TO PAYING HOUSE PAYMENT. SINCE SHE WORKS, HELP AGENCIES WON'T HELP US WITH POWER, WATER, FOOD, OR ANYTHING ELSE. THEY SAY OUR HOUSE HAS TOO MUCH INCOME. IF I WAS GETTING LONG-TERM OR SOCIAL SECURITY BENEFITS THAT I PAID FOR ALL MY WORKING LIFE LIKE I WAS PROMISED, I WOULDN'T BE IN THIS FINANCIAL DELIMA. IF YOU CAN HELP, THANK-YOU AND GOD BLESS YOU!! IF YOU CAN'T HELP, I UNDERSTAND, GOD BLESS YOU ANYWAY!!
