I need to vent.
So, I snore and I have light sleep apnea. Which I know I have had for several years. So I decided to seek help for it, since the snore guard I use is expensive and with a diagnosis would be covered by insurance.
I got my diagnosis and in every single conversation it's: "yeah, the first line of treatment is losing weight, so we won't cover the mouthguard, because it might not work."
I snored before I was overweight, but every single darn conversation goes back to me having to lose weight. I lost 5 kg in the last month (almost 10 lbs), I just want a snore guard as a darn reward. When I ask them which BMI I need to hit to get one, the answer is: "we play it by ear."
There's a ridiculous amount of treatments that might not be effective that are still given to people with health issues. My partner had 5 different inhalers for his asthma, before finding the right one and somehow I'm too fat for a snore guard that will last me three years.
Worst thing is that the promise of a snoreguard would have me jumping through every hoop. I just want to have a snore guard, so my weight loss journey gets a little easier.
