LDN for TBI (Traumatic Brain Injury) and for Anxiety, Depression, and Hypervigilance
Even with the supplements and my
CPAP
machine. All of the issues has caused a huge rift in my marriage and I am now on the verge of a divorce after 30 years. So that also has me stressed out. But I am still working a 6 figure income IT job with no issues so far.

Husband with COPD
He can't sleep, has trouble with his
cpap
machine, just miserable. Just finished 3 rounds of antibiotics and steroids. Has a nebulizer, rescue inhaler, and Spiriva. His VA doctor was not much help at all, finally got him oxogen for night time use only.

Anxiety Has Me By The Throat!!!
I was officialy diagnosed with moderate sleep apnea around May and undergoing
cpap
therapy. I'm still suffering with insomnia and can only sleep between 2-4 hours without medicating on tylenol pm. I gave melatonin a shot and it makes me feel completely insane plus it doesn't work.

What does your Dr state is the reason for your inability to work when you suffer from lung disease?
I have both restrictive and obstructive lung disease and am on
CPAP
therapy. I look fine and at the moment can walk (slowly) for miles on the flat however struggle on the slightest gradient. My concentration levels are poor as is cognitive function which unfortately are the skills I need for work.

Hypo not by choice
My fatigue level had dropped, but this was due to my efforts with dietary changes, usage of a new
CPAP
machine for sleep apnoea and a substantial change in my exercise regime that resulting in a 10 kg weight reduction).

Can anyone relate.
I have severe OSA i use a
CPAP
, the disruptive nights I have make the Fibro unbearable. This has ended my career as a carpenter and what feels like my life. Due to severely restricted activities, because of the pain, I have gained weight.

Atelectasis and partial lung collapse
I'm wondering if a
cpap
or bipap machines will help inflate patches of collapse or help oxygen. I'd pay for them myself just struggling to walk upstairs is so depressing and I feel no one really gives a damn. Just me reading, researching as an ex nurse how can I help myself. Thanks

Atrial Flutter Ablation
I ripped the
Cpap
mask off so I could breathe. My heart was racing extremely fast. I contacted my Cardiologist who said before you come and see me get a download off the
Cpap
. No problems there with printout. End result is I'm in Atrial Flutter (damn). Pulse stuck on 80bpm.

Update and ESR elevated
Since getting great sleep from using
CPAP
I have felt so much better so my slow down method went a bit faster from 14 mgs of prednisone to now 10 mgs. I have a slight temporal headache but otherwise feel so much better.

CPAP machine
I knew with my weight gain I was a candidate for
CPAP
. Well I took the test and I shocked the nurse reading my report. Let's just say mine was severe sleep apnea. The only symptom I had was on occasion I would wake up gasping for air. Well, I have been on it now for a month and what a change.

Newbie to site
To make matters worse, I'm on
CPAP
at night, so I'm really in a fix! My main question now is that I wonder if my doc is tapering me too quickly ( general medicine practitioner who didn't remember if he was the one who put me on the Requip).

Pulse Ox levels
I have been on a
CPAP
machine and then a BIPAP machine at night to keep me breathing since 1996. Recently had a pulse ox monitoring test at nights which determines if the oxygen levels in your blood remain in normal range at night.
