Obstructive sleep apnea and Parkinson's
Curious to know how many people here with pd also have obstructive sleep apnea. I do, and I just went on cpap therapy recently. Noticing a slight improvement in most symptoms and hoping that with continued diligence I can improve more. Here's a link to a very basic article on the relationship between

Doctors use existing treatment earlier to save the lives of Covid-19 patients.
The lives of patients hospitalised with Covid-19 are being saved by doctors who are using an existing medical treatment at an earlier stage. Dr Luigi Sedda of Lancaster University analysed the results from the team at Wrightington, Wigan and Leigh Teaching Hospitals NHS Trust (WWL). Their research

Study explores sleep apnea, autoimmune disease link.
New research by University of Georgia scientists sheds light on why people with obstructive sleep apnea may have associated autoimmune disorders. Obstructive sleep apnea is a disorder that occurs when throat muscles relax temporarily, narrowing or collapsing the airway and momentarily cutting off breathing

ICU agitation and fluctuations in settings. Anyone else going or have gone through this?
Hi. First time posting and wanted to share my rollercoaster struggles of worrying so far. It's been more comforting reading about so many others going through the same situations and getting the best outcome eventually! I wish everyone the very best in their recoveries My dad is currently in ICU after

COVID x STROKE
Can anyone help ? ...my dad is in ICU recovering from Covid and a major stroke brought on by it. He is awake but is on a ventilator alternating with CPAP via a tracheostomy. He can’t speak because of the tracheostomy and has no movement at all in his right side. We obviously haven’t even able to visit

Untreated sleep apnea is associated with flu hospitalization.
As we approach flu season, adults with obstructive sleep apnea may want to take extra precautions. A study published online as an accepted paper in the Journal of Clinical Sleep Medicine is the first to find that patients with sleep apnea who did not use CPAP therapy were more likely to be hospitalized

Endocarditis complications
My dad was admitted to the hospital 23 days ago with what was determined to be infectious endocarditis. He was moved to the ICU just over 24hrs after being admitted because he had two seizures.

Worried about prednisolone and azathioprine
Well had a face to face with rheumatology yesterday after feeling dreadful for most of this year. Had bloods , urine and stool specimens put away prior to appointment and more taken whilst there. She has started me on prednisolone until end of year, then planning to add in azathioprine. Said my lupus

Sleep apnea newbie
Hi all: I just found out I have obstructive sleep apnea to go with the restless legs syndrome and Parkinson’s. The CPAP machine and service costs a lot more - almost double - than ordering the machine itself. Do you find the service worth it, especially for first timers? My somnologist sent me to the

Feeling Sad
My beloved partner has been through the mill these past 5 weeks and I need some reassurance. He went in for elective surgery in a brain aneurysm, suffered a stroke during surgery, had two further surgeries for bleeds and clots and will be, tomorrow, two weeks out if an induced coma. He is my soul mate

Masks for Sleep Apnea
Good Morning everyone Need some advice. My husband was diagnosed 4 years ago with sleep apnea, along with PF. He was given a CPAP machine for night time along with an oxygen machine. Up until a few months ago all worked well, but for some unknown reason he appears to have become allergic to the mask

Central Hypothroyid & Sleep Apnea
My thyroid tests typically show normal T3/T4 and suppressed TSH, my latest tests: T3: 4.95 (2.63-5.69) T4: 14.65 (9-19) TSH*: 0.05 (0.27-4.2) * Note: my TSH is typically at this level but I have seen it get to normal level ~1 when T4/T3 drop close to lower range. I was also diagnosed with moderate sleep

Dealing with probable but undiagnosed sleep apnea
So I got sort of a diagnosis of benign fasciculation syndrome over a year and a half ago, and have been in misery since dealing with it all the time. It basically means random muscles around my body twitch sporadically, sometimes constantly, without stopping. I saw three neurologists and all of them
