My Dr. asked if I snored or had any trouble breathing through my nose. I do not.

I realize age related things are going to happen and want to address only those which are true threats to my life or my quality of life.

How long have you had this and when was it obvious that you needed to promptly do something?

I hope you do not mind my intrusive questions. It's okay to say "Bug Off!" But, since we share the same ailment and I am the newbie at this, I hope you'll take pity on me. :-)
