Not ME/CFS, but really severe sleep apnea due to nasal congestion and recessed jaws.
I wasn't able to complete high school, spent ten years unable to leave my house, progressively degenerating into an early dementia like state. Couldn't even fully understand what people are saying to me.
Was largely disregarded and gaslit by doctors, family, people for being lazy and having a pathological lifestyle.
Took online friends buying me a CPAP to get any relief, but it's insufficient and I continue to be heavily disabled and unable to function enough to move forward and there is nobody out there who would help.
Increasingly contemplating ending it all. Just so tired of existing.
- tucaz 4y agoIsn’t there a surgery you can do for the sleep apnea?
- Llamamoe 4y agoYes, Maxillomandibular Advancement, a subtype of Double Jaw Surgery. It's more effective than any other treatment, I'm just struggling with functioning my way through the hoops necessary to prepare for and go through with it.
