joshelmintz,
I would also want a careful description from the new doc of just why s/he thinks the original studies were misscored beyond a simple "You didn't get into REM." I'd be asking about which hypopnea standard the tests were scored under and which hypopnea standard the new doc prefers.
Diagnosed then undiagnosed?

I think you would really enjoy the Gominak YouTube videos! Your experiance seems to be in line with her work. Also note what everybody is saying about being on the high side of the normal range!joshelmintz wrote: There was a deficiency last year but supplementing D3 took care of the problem and it has been normal since.Todzo wrote:
Check your vitamin D levels. Those who are working with the D3 hormone (A.K.A. Vitamin D3) (e.g. Dr. Stasha Gominak, Michael F. Holick, Ph.D., M.D., Vitamin D Council) seem to be finding that the very low side of the “normal” range of 30-100 ng/L produces a range of symptoms including OSA, pain, and infection. All believe that a level lower than 50 ng/mL is not good and Dr. Stasha Gominak recommends 60-80 ng/mL for good health.
