RLS & sleep apena

I saw a Cardiologist this week. Seems I may have a complication due to another complication of PSP. I'd appreciate feedback.
For those who've been following my posts, some of this is old info; for the benefit of newer caretakers/persons with PSP, I'm going to briefly refer to the complication of PSP I was diagnosed with May of 2013. My Doc (a Neuro) surprised me with a referral for a sleep study. Sleep apnea was the furthest

Hi everyone. I have been doing the programme for nearly 4 weeks now. I have lost 1.5 inches from waist and 3kg in weight.

On a blood test, it was found that his Sodium had dropped to 112 despite being on Tolvaptan daily, fluid restriction and oral salt intake (5 gm). He was also found

I saw the university specialist on friday. She wants to give me oxycontin. But first, she wants me to do another sleep study with esophageal pressure monitoring (*cringe*) to make sure I don't have sleep apnea. If I don't, medicine prescribed, no problem. If I do, she wants to put me on a cpap and then
