[quote="Julie"]Jane - when the doctor says your spleen should come out - it should come out. You don't need it for ANYthing at all (like your appendix) and it can cause ongoing problems with leaking into your other organs, etc., possibly long term and serious. It's a quick and easy op. as well, and ...

what about auto bipap. Someone told me this when I inquired about concussions. I was in a car wreck three weeks ago at a 50-55 mph impact to driver side of car. Front air bag deployed. Suffered a concussion and no memory of the accident but 3 second flashback of the three seconds before apparent imp...

thanks to both of you..I got it in.

My 34 year old very overweight son (but he did just lose 130 pounds recently) was diagnosed with severe sleep apnea a few months ago. He was told he was not breathing 85 times an hour. He was put on an autobipap and a nasal mask and then he started having difficulties . He claims he never woke up t...

[quote="GumbyCT"]Many of us, I know I wasn't accustomed to wearing something on my face, esp. during sleep. During my study I told my sleep tech, I don't wake up this much at home. He said oh but you do, you just don't know it. Explaining that each time I stopped breathing, I come out of each sleep ...

I suffer from the same problem. I think I could put Hudini to shame removing things in my sleep. When I looked at masks during the second go-around we had to look at comfort as well as ease of removal. We then added a chin strap to make it even move difficult. Two mornings later I found my mask at ...

[quote="kteague"]SleepyJane, What your son is experiencing with removing the mask while asleep is not uncommon. I did it for a few months and it is a common thread on here. Does his machine have a mask leak alarm? Although if he's that sound asleep he's not likely to hear it. There's a good chance t...

I recently saw this about some purrsleep product pulled from the market.. http://www.apneasupport.org/about10015.html I am not that familiar with it. someone recommended it for my son who has sleep apnea and is pulling off his mask in his sleep. Are these products safe or is it only some of them tha...

when I first came on here, I was very depressed and desperate and posted something to that effect. Then I began to get help and learn all this stuff mostly on here and some from other research. I learned all these things that were connected with my sleep disorders and health symptoms/disorders that ...

messed up ignore

Again thank you for your comments and if anyone thinks of anything important my son should know or ask the doctor or fight for, please let me know so I can get it to him in time for his appointment.

Ask your son to read the articles under the light bulb above, starting from the top including Are You Sleeping with the Enemy? You, too. I did go over there and read this one article as soon as I saw your post and it was eyeopening. When I think about how nearly every emotional, mental, and physica...

SleepyJane, I was one who was able to remain high functioning for many years even with multiple sleep disorders. Ditto to what others said about the body's amazing ability to somehow compensate for shortcomings, and that sometimes the changes are so longstanding or with subtle progression that one ...
