Hey there! Thanks for doing this.
I know you can't give medical advice over the Internet, so maybe just provide your opinion. I have pretty bad sleep apnea but am not severely overweight and had my tonsils and adenoids out. Unfortunately I can't afford to get the remaining sleep study I needed or the CPAP (sp?) machine. However, I discovered that if I wear those breatheright strips (nose strips on outside of nose) I wake up feeling well rested and have been told my snoring is cut to minimum. Is it possible for the source of apnea to be primarily in the nostrils? And if I feel fine wearing those, so I need to be concerned about not getting a sleep study and all that? It is seriously a night and day difference, pun definitely intended.
Thanks again!

Might be too late to ask, but have you read Ninety Percent of Everything by Rose George? If so curious to hear what you thought about it. Seems like a pretty accurate account of life on a container ship if you haven't!
