Is there a dedicated support function for people suffering with Sleep disorders in the UK?
It seems clear to me that we need a dedicated support facility for Sleep disorders. The illness is easily diagnosed, very difficult to treat and destroys lives. Depressives have counsellors, and other physical ailments have support. Where do we go for support, we are diagnosed, told we should inform

Anyone got a good alternative to Amitriptyline?
I am heading for 19 stone and this is ridiculous. I need the Amitriptyline for the sleep aid and desensitising of my skin. On Lyrica and Tegretol too.

Surprising reasons that you have sleeping problems.
I'm sick of not getting sleep and maybe some of my problem is a habit but mostly it's my legs that keep me up. RLS. I was researching on webmd.com (very trusted site) about what keeps me up at night. I found an article that says this... Courtesy of webmd.com.. Sleep Wrecker 4: Medicine, Vitamins

Must Read ..sleeping problems and Thyroid Gland
Hi all I feel I must write this , after only having total thyroid gland removal on Monday my sleep has improved unbelievably. I am due to have a sleep study next month for Apnea but the way things are going I don't think I have it anymore since I had the operation. I am 100% sure these 2 are linked

As Questran is off limits for the time being, I spoke to my hepatologist who suggest I can substitute Questran Light, colestipol or
general cholestymamine. I can't guarantee that the spellings are correct! I know what Questran Light is like, has anybody used either of the other two? If so, what comments do you have on taking them?

I get relatively short episodes of paroxysmal atrial fibrillation, normally every few days. The cause seems to be an event causing physical or mental stress, but the unusual feature is that all these episodes occur shortly after I wake up from sleep in the middle of the night, even if the precipitating

OMG AMAZING doctor!!
So I've been admitted to Papworth sleep centre for my three way sleep study, and I asked the nurse about ABG's - yes, I had to have them done. After five hours of sweating about it (not an emergency) the nurse asked the doctor to come and do them, as I was getting really stressed and my hubby needed

On A Lighter Note...
...I'm very pleased to report that since the night I left the hospital on 5-23, after experiencing a cluster of days I'd awake so physically ill in the morning - scary ill, but fine yet exhausted the rest of the day, those episodes have not returned, ever so thankfully. And, since I found out on

CPAP THERAPY FOR OBSTRUCTIVE SLEEP APNEA AND MANUKA HONEY
Hello everyone, I was wondering if there were many of us here with Obstructive Sleep Apnea? I recieved a letter last week telling me I had it and I am to attend an appointment at the sleep clinic on Thursday concerning CPAP treatment. A leaflet was meant to be in the letter but I think they must have

My Sleep Study Results, Anesthesia Questions Answered.
I underwent a sleep study on 5-21-13 at the recommendation of my Neuro. This surprised me a bit because I never considered myself a poor sleeper. But, I was experiencing chronic dreams toward dawn in which physical symptoms would get incorporated into my dreams, such as significant pain from falling
