    All these sleep apnea comments need to be combined as one.

    Every Gulf war 1 vet I talk to, has the same thing. We sleep for three hours, then lay awake the rest of the night. We go to the VA for help, and what do they do? Give us an "at home sleep monitor" thats only purpose is to test for sleep apnea. Then They give us a CPAP, and say adios. If you still complain of no sleep, they send you to a shrink. After three years now, I have tried every sleep med he can think of, with no success. Now he is saying Adios.

    VA is conducting a study, so they know there is a problem. Only thing, is they limit the participants to those that live within 30 miles of Salt Lake city. So before they even start, the results are not statistically significant to be of any good.

    Our problems are more then sleep apnea, but they do include sleep apnea.
    Maybe if the VA would pay for some real sleep studies, they could figure out whats not working right. Several studies now have proven we have brain problems. It should not take a rocket scientist to see there is a connection.

    My god! you are not doing this already? where has the VA been the last 20 years? Why has every thing related to GW1, been directed to the VA by Congress?

    So BY the GWVI-TF even having to write this comment, you are saying the VA does not give a hoot.
