I'm just trying to get an understanding around my UARS. I'm one of those people who must know why things are the way they are. I've been told by Physical Therapists that I'm "hypermobile". I can see this in some of my joints as well. I don't think that I have Ehlers-danlos syndrome, but I do wonder ...

Hi All thanks so much for all the advice. I will definitely look at Dr. Park's website, thanks for the links! I will also look up the article from BMJ, thanks! I am already consistently wearing my CPAP w/o missing a night. It is an auto-titrating CPAP with the data card also. So good on those points...
