I need a new c-pap machine and have to take a new sleep test before they would give me a new one. They are denying me the sleep test and the new c-pap machine because I am not vaccinated and refuse to take the PCR test.
As I have posted here before, I have never been tested, more a mask once in June 2020, and have never taken the vaccine and I intend to keep it that way.
As Q state, “Civil suits can be quite effective.”
Not trying to be rude but have two people close to me with apnea and they are both overweight. So rare for a person of correct weight for their height, to have apnea problems. I think it is valid to suggest that people with it, lose weight if they can, because none of us want to have the prospect of hospitals hanging over us. And if I started getting apnea I'd be one of the people who'd be better off if I'd lose some, so I'm sure not finger pointing. We have to try to solve our own issues without the hospital. Maybe in another couple years it will be safer. I pray for that. Scary times.
No vax or PCR for this CPAP user here. Fortunately I have not encountered any such denial of service. I agree with weight loss to reduce dependency on a CPAP, but in the meanwhile you still need one. I would try a different sleep doctor or clinic if that was at all possible. My sleep doctor asked if I was vaxxed, I said no, not interested and we have continued on as we were before the plandemic.
As for weight loss, I have not been able to exercise for more than a year due to bad knees and subsequent knee replacement surgeries (one of which remains problematic). In spite of no exercise, I've successfully lost 50 lbs off my high of 287 in the last year with no exercise, heeding advice found in a book call "The Obesity Code", and can recommend with confidence. 42" waist to 38" waist, 3X shirts to 2X shirts, etc. Makes a huge difference in CPAP pressure needed, as well as in the way I feel. There may be a time when I don't need a CPAP in my future, however I have allergic rhinitis and enjoy sleeping with filtered air anyway.
