pessimistic There is definitely pessimism, this has been a long ride. I am going to try my best with CPAP. Best case scenario: get CPAP to work, it fixes this problem Moderate case scenario: get CPAP to work, deduce that OSA is not the problem Worst case scenario: still have problems getting CPAP t...

Fatigue is closely related to Crohn's and is a side effect of the drug he is using. It is not closely related to Mild OSA. The worrying part is that the last time I saw my specialist he told me my disease was in remission. You would think hearing that would be a relief, but considering how bad I've...

Thanks for all the responses guys. It must be clear to all of us that it won't be one thing, but several ganging up on you at once. I do believe this to be the case. Even the two problems I identified above seem like enough to cause problems and make it hard to understand, let alone other factors. I...

I have not Googled your meds but can only imagine they're having some effect on your sleep problems... That would be great in theory, but realistically I don't have that option.

1. Your sleep is crap, your AHI is too high, 5.5 is a *crap* AHI. 2, 3, 4, You're USING the cpap, but your treatment isn't EFFECTIVE . [/i] Right, so to continue on your glasses metaphor, the issue here is that my doctor has given me a prescription, I have tried my best to adhere to the prescriptio...

How do you know that your were having spontaneous arousals? The sleep reports themselves stated the number of arousals per hour, and break them down in to "spontaneous", "apnea", and "limb movement". If you look at the table I included in the first half, you can see the values from each test in the...

This post is going to be kind of long, sorry in advance. I just want to make sure I describe my situation in enough detail that someone can help. I’m in such a desperate situation: I have been doing really badly lately, it’s affecting my life substantially, and my sleep doctors are clowns who can’t ...
