Hi,
I'm not a Doctor, just a poster, but from what you've described, the combo does not seem to be working for you.
First about your apnea:
My friend has a form or sleep apnea also, and she has to use this special breathing aparatus at night, so that her apnea does not cause her nightly breathing problems. Can't remember what that apparatus is called, but people w/ sleep apnea often use it.
