Guest guest Posted August 27, 2004 Report Share Posted August 27, 2004 , My husband uses a CPAP. He has no thyroid or hormone problems. He does however have restless leg syndrome, which has improved greatly with the CPAP, but the reason he got it was for severe snoring. Probably has/had sleep apnea, but the results were inconclusive because he never could get to deep enough sleep at the sleep lab – he was too uncomfortable in a strange place all wired up. He had a hard time getting used to it, since it forces air in your nose, but he has much more restful sleep now. There is a new kind that doesn’t even use a “mask” but looks kind of like those oxygen tubes that just go up your nose. Does anyone know if sleep apnea and thyroid or hormone probs are related in any manner. Also does anyone experience with a CPAP machine? Does it work for you?

Guest guest Posted August 27, 2004 Report Share Posted August 27, 2004 , I sleep with a CPAP machine. It has helped me some, but I still wake up at night and I am still experiencing fatigue. You really have to work with the doctor and the machine to be able to get any benefit from it. Since you live so close to me, if you would like to see one you can come over and take a look.
