I have had it for years but was diagnosed 2 yrs ago and sleep w/ a cpap machine but I'm still tired as **** all of the time anyone else with experience with this and suggestions on getting sleep?
Got another sleep study next week but I don't think I'll learn much more. I have major problems with staying awake if I sit or drive for long periods of time without activity.

I'm not sure if I have it or not...I sometimes I catch myself not breathing.
No Vic, sorry I dont.
well it sucks my last study showed I woke up 45 times an hour. Meaning I really never sleep. And napping doesn't help cause you just do the same thing.
You don't notice it unless you are awake for more than 30 seconds. So I/we never know it. Along with causing fatigue it is hard on the heart and the brain because of the oxygen deprivation.
i think i may have it. i was supposed to do a sleep study a few years ago but i pussed out.. i hate hospitals.. but it may be worth it..why dont you look at getting your tonsils and the little abnoid taken out of the back of your throat?Quote:

I have talked w/the doc re:surgery he says it's 50% successful. Man I'd cut it out myself if I knew for sure it would work!lol I am still using that machine and have a follow up study to see if they can tweek it a bit.
I wonder why some people have it ans some don't? I understand how it happens but why?
get surgery. my doc told me to use the machine if i get one for a few months then go back to him and bitch about how i cant sleep with the machine and then your insurance should pay for it..Quote:
