An Operation Obsession
A large body of research exists to raise questions about the use of most currently available operations for obstructive sleep apnea. Nevertheless, these continue in widespread use, often persistently sought by patients despite evidence against their effectiveness, at least in contrast to that of CPAP.

Exercise & Apnea: Blessing or Curse?
A recent study has shown that a modest exercise program improves symptoms of sleep apnea. Aside from the good news that a little increase of activity can help, there is the danger that such findings will encourage doctors to perpetuate the already too prevalent practice of "blaming the victim" of apnea for being overweight and out of shape, which are consequences of as much as contributors to the disease. A solution to these problems may lie out of reach of many symptomatic apnea patients.

Only the Internet . . .
Only the Internet offers patients with a wide range of diseases, such as obstructive sleep apnea, the opportunity to interact with a large number of similarly afflicted people around the country and the world. Often, the Internet also offers disease-specific informational web sites that allow patients access to the latest developments in research on their illnesses. Some of these permit free, informal "consultations" with experts in the field. Bulletin boards give people the opportunity to post specific problems and get suggestions from others, including not only fellow patients but professionals as well. Finally, some medical journals, prohibitively expensive for most people to buy subscriptions, permit free access to their contents on-line for doctors and patients alike.

License to Kill
Everyone should remain aware that undergoing medical treatment involves real and extreme risks to the patient which are not shared to any significant degree by those doctors and other medical personnel to whom one entrusts one's life. Through negligence, oversight, or unavailable human error, medical mistreatment can kill with relative impunity. Therefore, it behooves the consumer of medical care to retain responsibility and control. In particular, people with sleep apnea live at risk of lethal interactions with the medical system, of which they should remain always aware.

Dickens' "Fat Boy:" A Classic Case of What?
The "Pickwick Syndrome," named after a character named Joe in <B><I>The Pickwick Papers</I></B> purports to describe a prototypical case of sleep apnea, but in reality represents nothing of the sort. The fat boy who falls asleep constantly and immediately in the midst of any kind of vigorous activity resembles, if anything, a case of narcolepsy. However, Dickens did not attempt to portray a real-life clinical syndrome; like most fictional characters, that of Joe need only convince the reader to suspend disbelief, not to reflect some authentic illness. The use of stereotypical "classical cases" in medicine militates against identification of the many people with the disease who do not fit the stereotype.

Can Your Bed Partner's Snoring Make You Sick?
A new study claims to be the first to show that wives of snorers suffer symptoms of sleep disturbance and the consequences of sleep deprivation, two to three times as often as women with husbands who do not snore. The same finding should prove to apply to men living with women who snore. While snoring is more frequent in men than women (41% vs. 28%), together male and female snorers make up one-third of the population--an extremely common problem!

Did Sleep Apnea Afflict Johannes Brahms?
Johannes Brahms had many signs and symptoms of obstructive sleep apnea--frequent napping under inappropriate circumstances, falling asleep with extraordinary rapidity, heroic snoring. His success despite this deserves our admiration and emulation in the face of other disabling diseases. Moreover, current epidemiologic data suggests that OSA must affected many others, in times when it could not be diagnosed or treatment, but might have drawn ridicule or even accusations of character defects, like "laziness."

HoseHeads, Unite!
Sleep activism has gained strength from the discovery of sleep apnea as a relatively common illness present among all classes and types of people. Many of those diagnosed and treated for this disease look back over their past medical history and see frequent instances of misdiagnosis and mistreatment by doctors ignorant of developments in the field of sleep medicine over the past 30 years. Also, we have become aware that the great majority of those afflicted with sleep apnea remain undiagnosed and untreated. The cause involves education of both physicians and the general public on sleep disorders.
