Sleep Apnea   

Was already on a special for a chronic lung issue, under control.  My Pulmonologist thinks I have the sleep apnea (6 months into my medical). I do the study, covered by insurance mostly.  Get a CPAP.  Call my AME, he says report it on next exam, which I do, with study results and usage reports etc.  At exam he issues medical, sends in Special paperwork, with all the required information, get the special in a few months.  Didn't miss a day of work.  That was 7 years ago, the FAA knew what I did and when I did it and still had a medical so it seems ok to me.  I found the full face mask was easier than the nose pillows, it stopped my snoring.  I was lucky it wasn't that hard for me.
