Re: OSCAR v1.5.1 released - September 23, 2023

Re: Napping

Thank you Pugsy. As I had finished writing I had realized for myself that the was the pain causing it. I too have spinal spondylosis and hip pain but have learned to go back to side sleeping with a firm pillow between my legs and that has helped enormously. It hurt a lot for the first few weeks but ...

Re: Napping

I never sleep without the mask. I think it has been my leg making me so tired.

Napping

Today I napped for the first time since I have been on treatment. When I got up I didn't feel so hot but thought once I'd had my drugs, had my caffeine, I'd feel okay. I didn't. I went back to bed for another 90 minutes by 3pm. I was wondering if this could be the cause of a lot of tiredness this la...

Re: Newly-diagnosed in the UK - need help

I was admitted to the Royal Papworth in August 2019. They are excellent. I was dying at the time. AHI 60+ and heart failure. I had no idea. Although I was booked in again, I had broken my leg in the meantime, so didn't get back until the December. They were surprised to see how much I changed. Lost ...

Re: Loewenstein Smart Max readings

Thank you both for your response. Last night I had a 0.00 AHI. This is not unusual when I have eaten too many carbs. (Studies show that carbs improve SA but also make one fat!) My husband says he doesn't hear anything from me and he often is reading for a couple of hours whilst I am sound asleep. I ...

Re: Raised AHI after swimming solved

Sorry for the very late answer, Disacciation is when when , in the face of trauma, 'switches' off. It is a survival mechanism learned in childhood. It isn't necessarily a good thing in adulthood however in my case it enables me to remove my consciousness away from my physical pain but not so much I ...
