Guest guest Posted December 6, 2004 Report Share Posted December 6, 2004 I would like to hear from those who had breathing issues especially at night while trying to sleep. Did you awake out of breath? Did you fall asleep, dream and wake up 5mins later, and then repeat the process for hours? I am looking for a ray of hope here. I am still on 25mcgs of Synthroid (been on that dose for one month). I just had my blood drawn Friday and will know where I stand. I am sure he will increase my Syn as 25 is very low. I have been very depressed today. I feel like I want to sit in a corner and cry my eyes out. I don't know if it is not having enough meds or sadness over my situation. I hope all of the S**T is from the meds not being right instead of some other problem. It has been going on for about 3 months. A got maybe 3hours sleep last night. All adrenal tests are normal, even the pupil test, bp test, and scratch test. BY THE WAY, I TRIED ARMOUR AND COULD NOT TOLERATE IT EVEN AT 1/4 GRAINS. P.S. I am fat, but I don't snore much and I am not loud when I do...so I have been told. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted December 6, 2004 Report Share Posted December 6, 2004 No, but many on my groups have. Even my surrogate daughter did. A good friend was the first person I saw stop breathing. More than just almost stopping breathing for good was the lack of rest, EVER! Now they all have different gismos and are doing better. One had no apnea, but adenoids and had then removed.

Guest guest Posted December 6, 2004 Report Share Posted December 6, 2004 The majority were, but all but 3 were heavy. My surrogate is about 20 pounds heavy and I consider that not heavy.
