Re: Self-treating suspected UARS — Help with settings?

Please DO NOT DO THAT. As explained in the very first post on the forum, keep ALL YOUR STUFF together, it's way too much of a pain to go skipping around multiple threads trying to find information to help you, so some people just won't even bother. ?...I put all the relevant detail into my already ...

I've been experiencing the same package of symptoms for over 10 years and no doctor has been able to figure it out, so I've done endless amounts of searching online for answers. I ma...

Re: Could this be UARS? Any advice?

"FoggedOut" is a very recognizable name to me. The three things I used to tell people when I tried to explain how I felt was "in a fog" and "when I wake up, I feel more tired than when I went to bed" and "I feel like somebody beat me up while I was asleep." Hah, yeah, it’s by far the most irritatin...

Re: Could this be UARS? Any advice?

I have UARS and like you I'm skinny with a narrow airway (when my dentist happened to see my airway on a CAT scan, he recommended that I see a doctor for it because it's so narrow.) My symptoms sound very similar to yours except that I have them every day. UARS can be extremely sensitive to sleep p...

Re: Could this be UARS? Any advice?

As an FYI, you don't need to have O2 desats to have sleep apnea. On two full-scale studies, I never went below 90% and twice was diagnosed with moderate sleep apnea. Fogged Out - Was an RDI provided on your sleep study because that would include RERAs that would indicate the possibility of having U...

Re: Could this be UARS? Any advice?

Thanks, Julie. One of my biggest frustrations has been the general lack of action/enthusiasm on the part of my doctors. The neurologist just listened to my symptoms, did a basic exam (had me follow his hands with my eyes, tested my balance, etc.), but nothing else. No neck testing of any sort. I've ...

Could this be UARS? Any advice?

Hello all, new member here. I’m hoping someone can help me figure out a mysterious medical issue I’ve had for ~10 years, but can’t seem to get diagnosed. I’ve been highly suspicious that my problem could be a sleep disorder, quite possibly UARS. Here is my story: I’m a 32 year old male, 6’, ~200 pou...
