That was _exactly_ how I felt. I was really curious about what kind of gendered issues sleep apnea might present. Pink. Fucking pink.

When I was first diagnosed with sleep apnea, more than 20 years ago, the doctor gave me a brochure to help me understand women's special issues with sleep apnea. The gist was a) it might muss my hair and b) I might have to talk to my bed partner about whether or not we were having sex before I put on my mask. Because, really, when faced with a life-threatening disease, my primary concern is my sex appeal. When I read the brochure, my eyes rolled right out of my head, onto the floor, and became cat toys. Much later, one of my lovers and I used to call my CPAP my Mask of Sexual Invulnerability.
