Newby - Desparately Seeking Advice or any Level of Hope please....
I already had full review from Dpt Tropical Disease & Infection who at the last stretch diagnosed Obstructive Sleep Apnoea (now on treatment
Cpap
). I was told it was highly unlikely also, so you can understand my distrust of professional opinion of those who don't follow criteria.

Sleep Apnea and Memory Loss
Consider
CPAP
if Tips 1&2 don’t solve your sleep apnea. While
CPAP
can be effective, there are serious drawbacks to the device, such as low compliance rates among users, along with risks for nosebleeds, stomach discomfort, and claustrophobia.

Floppy airway disease
Just been diagnosed with significant dynamic airway collapse with almost complete closure of entire intra thoracic trachea and main bronchi on expiration - this makes the bronchiectasis harder to control - waiting for a
CPAP
trial and hoping it will help.

Got my best night's sleep in several years as I usually can't achieve much with my
CPAP
hookup and urine collection bag attached by condom catheter with little chance to move without disruption of my hookups.

Why can't I get a diagnosis? Symptoms are appearing over time, but still no answers.
I was diagnosed with mild sleep apnoea but found the
CPAP
machine made my breathing worse. My question, have I a lung problem or are my breathing problems gerd related? Though my speech impairment is thought to be caused by weak tongue and facial muscles.

I think I'm overmedicated. Dr says "No".
Diagnosed with sleep apnoea at the same time so with the
CPAP
and Levothyroxine Sodium I felt much better quickly. Dose settled to 75 micrograms and has stayed at that for most of the time. Dose was raised to 100mgs in March this year due to blood test result and was considered OK still in June.

No confidence in myself after losing/quitting jobs too many times - fed up of being unemployed
I now have
CPAP
treatment and I no longer feel tired all the time, which has been great, but I am still struggling with my confidence because of the knock-backs I've had from sickness in the past.

CPAP/ BIPAP machines
Does anyone use one now or perhaps did in the past for sleep apnea or for another reason? I would like to know if you reaped any benefits from it and if so what they were. Thanks

Indian Summer setback
Put my
CPAP
mask on and went to sleep. At 6pm. My chest is killing me again, so I'm back on the tramadol for the pain too. Today is going to be a high of 27 degrees, with humidity at 94%. Tomorrow it's supposed to be 29 degrees! A real Indian summer we're getting.
