You dug up a 3 year old thread to complain about not using cpap to deal with your issues? Really?bashley wrote:Not exactly the sort of muscle pain previously discussed, BUT...
After sleeping for a while, if I wake up and turn over, I feel surface pain for a few minutes. If I turn over again, the surface pain returns. BUT if I'm awake long enough to breathe "normally" I don't experience this pain. Moreover, when I was using the CPAP machine (had to return it -- constant fighting with the masks due to narrow nasal passages) I didn't experience this pain. Neurologist said it had to do with under-oxygenation of my blood (I've had sleep tests and oxygenation goes WAY low when I sleep), which makes sense. I'm going to have my nose reamed out and will see if this helps.
FWIW, I'm very strong but have NO muscle endurance -- if I run (or downhill ski) for 30 seconds I can barely stand up for a while. Really a bitch for a skier!
