sleep apnea is more common in people who are fat.

society decided for some reason that this meant that being fat causes sleep apnea. its often difficult to get referrals for sleep apnea treatment if you are fat, because some PCPs will tell you try losing weight first.

turns out!! having untreated sleep apnea causes weight gain in a not-insignificant number of people. it also makes it fucking impossible for many people to lose weight.

my husband worked out the same amount before he got a cpap as he does now. there have been no major diet changes either. yet he has been losing weight -- and gaining muscle tone -- consistently since he started using a cpap in january.

also, his blood pressure -- which was high, which docs blamed on his weight/diet -- went down significantly within one month of starting cpap treatment, before his weight changed significantly.

ANYWAYS. this is getting long. two final thoughts.

what?

I know that Dess in Roots and Branches AU doesn't shed anymore, but if Noelle and Carol still do, then do they eat their antlers as well?

PS. Does Asriel eat wet cat food? (Which, if the Spring 2024 Mini Newsletter is to be believed, may be something he actually likes) And if so, do any of his kids share his taste for it?

Once you grow a bit older, the whole 'eating your own bones' thing just gets a bit too strange to ignore. (Also this is the second pseudo appearance of Rudy's Mom)
