Hair growth and apnea

Have you noticed slower hair growth, because of having problems with sleep apnea? My hair are so damaged and they grow terribly slow I am doing everything possible to improve this, but nothing helps.

Re: medslant wedge

I have this wedge pillow. It is quite comfortable, soft, portable. It has a case and it is easy to travel with. The only flaw is quality, it is quite low and foam is easily deformed.

Re: Went the Orthodontic Route

The only link I find is to ONE dental practice. Odd there is no institutional reference. There is also an article written by dr Raymond Silkman "Is it mental or is it dental", there are articles written by dr John Mew about the impact of bad orthodonthia on the entire body, there is also this artic...

Re: Went the Orthodontic Route

Can you explain how you think scoliosis was caused by having two molars removed? Thank you. Google class II bite scoliosis. When I was 16 I had those teeth removed, my deep bite wasn't fixed, evereything was pushed backwards and upper jaw was narrowed causing even bigger retrusion of the lower jaw.

Re: Went the Orthodontic Route

Mu UARS problems are caused by bad orthodontia. I had two upper molars (they were huge) removed, then everything was pushed backwards. I hate orthodontists for what they've done to me. I have UARS, neck and back problems, scoliosis and severe TMJ due to this %&#$!

Re: Upcoming surgery

I am going to go through with the UPPP, Tonsillectomy, Turbinate Reduction and Septoplasty in a few weeks. I have read all of the horror stories, so I am not looking for anyone to try and talk me into or out of having this procedure. I have consulted with more than one ENT, as well as my family doc...

Re: Aerophagia on Bilevel

Now I'm on an auto CPAP and have no problems with aerophagia. My medical history is a lot like yours, reflux with Prilosec, hiatal hernia. Now I'm off the Prilosec, the hernia is not bothering me, and my treatment is working nicely. Keep complaining about the aerophagia to your sleep doctor and tel...

Burping disturbs my sleep, what should I do?

Recently I finally managed to fall asleep after long struggling. But there is another huge problem: burping! I am suffering from LPR (Laryngopharyngeal reflux) caused by hiatal hernia. My stomach is very prone to insufflation. I recently had upper endoscopy done and I know what is going on at least....

Re: Why I don't have a leak graph in Sleepyhead?

Can you run the data on ResScan, or upload the data files from the SD card to Google docs? And simultaneously, have someone send YOU a known "good" file? I am going to try this later today. When only leak graph is checked there is flying cube with a sheep where daily graph are supposed to be, means...
