I just got the letter:

mild obstructive apnea
woke up a lot from snoring
and RLS
Maybe if you lose some weight you won't snore so much
Good luck slugger!

Have you tried sleeping with a marble in your mouth? I've heard that that will help.

I have zero faith in pharmaceutical companies. That's not entirely true. My faith would have to grow by several orders of magnitude to reach zero.

I am rather fond of antibiotics when used appropriately, There are a handful of drugs that have proven themselves over time. It's not the meds themselves but the people who are claiming them safe that I especially distrust.

As for the RLS I will try an acupuncturist first and see if that helps at all.
