Both of my kids have severe sleep disorder breathing. They have been treated at some of the best Childress hospitals in the country. And have also been treated by airway dentists over the past few years. Including palatial expansion ,myo, tongue tie release etc.. my family’s sleep deprivation has been severe, for my kids wife and myself. I recently also got a sleep apnea diagnosis for myself , this is the dad. I’ve had a CBTC scan and Pulse oximetry study and it’s showing severe sleep apnea. The combination of sleep Deprivation from my kids disorder along with my sleep apnea has left me feeling hopeless and struggling to want to keep going in life. I am trying to get a formal clinical sleep study but have been struggling with my insurance to approve the study. Both my airway dentists have recommended I meet with a surgeon to get evaluated for possible jaw surgery. But that could possible take years to get approved, and I sometimes wonder if I will last that long. Anyway, I’m sure others are also struggling with similar situations.
