just wanted to know what sort of work was involved with having an 11 month old baby with hypotonia (low muscle tone) which they think has only affected her from her neck up to her throat,nose and ears and also sleep apnea…. she has a ct scan booked and is being admitted to hospital in a few days!!! also getting bloods tested for about 12 different things…just wanted to know what other mothers/fathers went through so i know what to expect in the next few weeks/months/years and dont completely break down….
thanks

I have final exams in a few days, but everytime I sit down to study after about 30 minutes I feel sleepy. And whenI decide to sleep ,I sleep for over two hours!!!

Any ideas to keep me awake?

For the past few days, I haven’t been able to get much sleep because I wake up wheezing and gasping for air. It feels like my air passage has closed, and it normally takes an hour or so to get my breathing pattern back to normal. During the day, I don’t have any difficulties and I don’t appear to be ill. I’ve looked up sleep apnea, but I don’t have the symptoms… I don’t suffer from heartburn (well I have random chest pains, but never after eating), sore throat or nausea so I don’t think it’s gastroesophageal reflux (GER), although it does seem like it happens when I’m lying down. I’ve tried the Vicks rub but it doesn’t have any effect. I haven’t done anything odd recently, rather than watch Avatar the night before the symptoms started. Was the movie so good that it left me a breathless insomniac (haha joking) or could it still possibly be GER or is it something else? What can I do to stop it?

I am having my tonsils removed in a few days. I’m 41 and have severe sleep apnea. ANY one else had this done as an adult? How was your recovery?
I must have this done or I could die in my sleep. This is a very severe case of sleep apnea and I have already had the upper and lower jaw surgery with little improvement.

Do you have to sleep EVERYNIGHT with a breathing machine? to cure it? (My doctor thinks I have it…and I have a sleep study in a few days) Just wondered how this is cured.

My three year old niece was sent to a sleep clinic because sleep apnea was suspected. After the test the nurse told her mother she saw no signs of it. A few days later she received a call that she must come in April 9 to discuss some serious results. My niece has a heart murmur so we’re wondering if the test could have detected problems with her heat.

Not sure if any of my history is related or not but:
WIth a history fo joint muscle pain undiagnosed since 18
I now since having children 3yrs ago have started to have major energy issues some days are fine others I go a week or two feeling tired all the time. Every time I go in they find something new as listed above. I have been diagnosed with all 3 diseases in the last 3 years and even with proper treatment am still have energy issues. I cant help but wonder that they are all related. Any Doctors out there who like to problem solve…I just cant believe I have 3 conditions that cause fatigue and am only 29 and healthy weight 5′8 145lbs and atop of all this am still not cured. I just want my energy so I can play with my girls. Im sick of it.
I am on an APAP and my leak rate is 0 and Im doing quite well with treatment.

My TSH levels are in the normal range – I have recently switched to another sciprt (Thyrolar) wich will treat my T3 and T4 indvidually vs treating the T3 to help the T4 to see if that helps with the fatigue and my levels were checked a few days ago no results yet but Im guessing theyll be normal since its the equivalent amount that I had for my Levoxyl.

Due to the fatigue seeming after I eat at times they did a fasting and reactive test which showed I was in the ? I thnk it was the 40s but after I ate my levels were fine (low 100s) Told me to eat protein with my carbs. However for instance when I ate today I felt exhausted and tested and was 163 – the rise bfore the fall Im guessing?

I was recently diagnosed with “severe sleep apnea”. I do not snore, nor toss and turn at night. I don’t have asthma. The doctor said that I stop breathing very frequently and wants me to sleep with a cpap machine. I’m not over weight, and I’m healthy. However, I do have HUGE tonsils. I’m wondering if getting them removed will help. I do actually have a consultation with a throat doctor in a few days, but I’m just wondering if it will help. Also, I initially went to the doctor because I get a head ache in the same spot of my head EVERYDAY. Does anybody have a GOOD explanation of why that is? Is it because of the sleep apnea? Also, is there anything that I can do to prevent having sleep apnea?

On a 15 hour flight to a different time zone, I took 4 or 5 dramamine to keep from getting sick. In the few nights after I arrived, I had difficulty sleeping, waking up in a panic several times. After a few days it went away.

After flying home, taking the same amount of dramamine, I am having similar symptoms. I wake up with feeling of numbness or tingling in my arms, and as if I had stopped breathing, like central sleep apnea? Would this be caused by the dramamine or by the jet lag itself?

True Life: I can't sleep aired on MTV a few days ago and i would like to know the name of the disorder Krystal had. She went to the doctor and found out she could not sleep because she was having trouble shutting her mind down at night. The doctor named a disorder for it, it was a really long name and i just can't remember what it was. I would like to look more into it, so if anyone knows what it is, that would be appreciated!!
