Thanks for your thoughts Kath, I Emailed them back and told them to donate the money to something that can help SA suffers as I was never in it for the money just to get my story out, we all have one, I told them I would be happy if my story helped just one person get diagnosed or if one person, hopefully more, got some support or assistance from it.

I have to say "Ruby to the Rescue From Sleep Apnea" was a very good story.

Kath, a funny thing happened last night, my brother in law rang me to say he, my sister, my two nieces and my nephew would be coming to my 50th birthday in a couple of weeks (that's not the funny thing, but I do only ever speak to them at Christmas normally). He was asking how I was because the last time he saw me I was a mess, anyway we spoke for about half an hour and got onto the sleep apnea story, he asked me to send him the link because my sister has had depression for about 20 years and she wakes up very hour and has never slept well. Now he wants her to get a sleep study, to either rule it in or out. This seems like fate. I have never really got on well with my sister, not close anyway, I told him if she wants to I'll go and talk to her about it. They don't have much money and no insurance, so if she decides to go ahead, I am going to offer to pay for her. I said if I could help one person it would be worth it, who would have known it could be my sister.

Amazing Terry. Now you could have done with that money you won to pay for her LOL. It wouldn't surprise me if she was a sufferer too, as it definitely runs in families. We have 3 generations of families as customers. If she does have it and you lead her to the forum you'd best delete the post you just wrote :D Let us know how it goes. By the way, my sister's next to be checked out.
