Guest guest Posted January 1, 2010 Report Share Posted January 1, 2010 Happy new year, friends! I've been really quiet on this list but have a new year's resolution to deal with the sleep apnea that I've been shamefully ignoring, and I hope you can help. I am tired all the time and tested positive for moderate sleep apnea. I have tried a CPAP twice but can't seem to get to sleep with it. One problem for me is that I have a hard time breathing through my nose at night, though I'm not sure why. I tried a mask that goes over nose and mouth and that didn't seem to help. They think my blood gases are fine other than the apnea episodes during the night. Not sure if my problems are SMA-related or not. I have a slow-progressing form of SMA II and don't have any other significant respiratory problems (just weaker than average breathing, of course). I'd love advice from any of you with experience with sleep apnea & SMA! Please respond here or to my individual email (jessicalehman@...). Thank you, and may the new year be full of love & laughter for all Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
