My path was not nearly that long to getting one. Your healthcare is shitty, dude.
But I can tell you that getting one, if you have serious sleep apnea, is life-changing. Here are the differences in my life 5 years later: Income has doubled. Layoffs are nonexistent (I used to get laid off every 2-4 years, like clockwork). Lost weight. Testosterone went up. I am no longer late to appointments (my "time estimation" seems to have improved!) I have dreams again AND remember them!! Been YEARS since that! Actually have energy in the morning, how the hell did I live 30 years of my life without knowing what everyone else enjoys?? So I can actually exercise (because I have the energy), leading to even more fitness. Leading to better... dating experiences (ahem), and pretty much better everything!
My one recommendation with CPAP is DO NOT let the doc prescribe you the over-the-nose mask... You want the ResMed Swift FX Nasal Pillow mask (google it). MUCH MUCH more comfortable/less "claustrophobic".
