Sleep Apnea & Melody

[Guest guest]

That weird sleep was among the start of my problems I noticed. It is easier if we have companions that could watch us sleep. Seriously my mom fought my step dad so much she would NOT believe she had apnea but would wake up at the bedroom door half asleep gasping for air. Same as her daughter. So he video taped her with a nite light on. Funny yes it but it worked she tossed like a fish which is the brain also saying not enough air fool. So in she begrudgingly went for her test. It was positive.

There are so many symptoms from small to huge but the problem is there incorporated so far into what we think is normal it is hard for us to see there not normal.

I can now trace back this problem to I was a small child I could never sleep at night only days and I got progressively tired threw the years. I could never hold down a job due to being so exhausted and in so much pain. God has always been saying find the answer it is there.

I search everyday for relief I know with Fibro I need to stay away from stress & Sugar and starches. Cpap Machine keeps the pain from Fibro Intact.

For the severe Myofacioal Trigger points Pain I have Hot Bathes is the trick !

Also A good life walking with My God.

Merry Christmas To All.

God Bless JJ

Re: I'm back - missed participating!

I have definitely been reading, with interest, all the sleep apnea suggestions, articles, and information. I still don't believe that I have sleep apnea but I could be wrong. I was SURE I did not have fibromyalgia for three years but this fourth year I am finally coming to terms with that, so ya just never know, LOL.I went down the symptom list and only had a few of the, what fifteen or so, can't remember. The thing I suffer from is falling asleep really late, then sleeping really late. Like today I slept till noon. I certainly feel well rested like I slept deep and well, but if I try to go to bed at 10pm tonight I can count on tossing and turning till 1am. Last night we went to bed at midnight and I watched some TV till after 1am, then fell right to sleep and stayed there. I had the most amazing adjustment Friday at my chiropractor, my neck popped like it hasn't in ages! I was feeling really sick that day, very nauseous. As soon as my neck was popped, I instantly stopped feeling that queasy feeling and instantly felt a hunger pang. It was cool. But my chiro is not there this Friday, so I have to wait until Monday to go back. Today my neck is stiff, usually it's the left side, today it's my right side. Most days the stiffness goes away after a hot bath. Plus I've started using the Salonpas, those do help but it hurts a LOT to rip them off. Anyway that's my lil ol update.Melody> Like I keep saying to the group Janet ( which I don't seem to get response from) is you should check out the symptoms of sleep apnea. You have it sounds like a few, can't sleep , indigestion, and the biggie headaches. > I don't know why it is so hard for people with Fibro to believe that most of have this affliction but we do. It is weird I find that we strive for help but when it is offered we get quiet.> > JJ> ----- Original Message ----- >
