My sleep problems were caused by bacteria.

Post by Lazer1234 » Mon Dec 30, 2013 5:42 pm

I suspect that my own sleep problems are caused by bacteria, and here you will see how a picture of the cranial nerves looks back in a head.
It started with a facial paralysis on the left side 23 years ago, followed by total deafness in one week on the same page. Then continued and felled nerve after nerve down 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12 in that order.
When it passed the 9 and 10 began my sleeping problems occur, though I did not understand it then.
But all the other nerves were labeled totally obvious. especially when you see the image on the face of the fifth nerve. Exactly the prevalence of numbness in the face, the lower of the three shadings.
All this, from 5th to 12th cranial nerve took a few months, and now 23 years later, it is my biggest problem ache from Trapezius Muscle cranial nerve 11.

Look especially at the cranial nerve 9 and 10, it's them that control breathing.
The pieces fall into place.

Image



Cranial nerve IX, 9
glossopharyngeal nerve
Heavy - pharyngeal nerve, Taste - pharyngeal nerve, the ninth cranial nerve , Caroticusnerven , Sinus Nerve , Heringska nerve, Ramus sine carotici n.IX
connects to the medulla behind / dorsally on the olive, below the eighth cranial nerve .
Cranial nerve 9 is the main taste nerve.
It is fitted with two sensory ganglia , one just inside and outside the nerve exit the skull base .
Nerve supplies motor m stylopharyngeus and together with the tenth cranial nerve svalgflätan ( pharyngeus plexus ) . It sends parasympathetic signals to the parotid gland . Ninth cranial nerve conveys sensation from the middle ear / drum cavity and pharynx from the tonsils .
For kran.nerv 9 hear a very special intestinal sensory part ( visceral nature 's ) : sinus nerve ( caroticusnerven , the Heringska nerve) . This is about the primary nature of the two sensory organs (a and b ) in the upper part of the carotid artery that records :

a) blood pressure, which are known as : carotid sinus . Stimulated sensory cells in the carotid sinus of increased pressure (either an internal pressure increase in the blood vessel or an external mechanical influences) so this leads to a reflex decrease in blood pressure and a heart rate reduction.

b ) the amounts of oxygen and carbon dioxide in the blood, via chemoreceptorer in something called the carotid . Flags oxygen levels in the blood and / or rising carbon dioxide levels is accomplished through the sinus nerve and connections in the medulla increased respiratory rate , increased breathing depth and breathlessness .

Cranial nerve X; 10
vagus
The wandering nerve, Vagus tenth cranial nerve
Deleted from the medulla behind / dorsally on olives and below / caudal of the ninth cranial nerve . Vagus extends from the skull base down through the neck joins the esophagus passes through the chest cavity , cuts through DIAPHRAGMA along with the esophagus and divides up into their end branches ( all parasympathetic ) in the upper part of the abdominal cavity.
Vagus has two sensory ganglia , one just inside and an outside exit hole in the skull base .
The nerve supplies motor pharyngeal muscles (along with kran.nerv 9 ), soft palate / gomseglets muscles (along with kran.nerv 5 ) and is in charge of vocal cord muscles.
Vagus nerve is the major parasympathetic nerve - preganglionic ( visceral efferens ) nerve fibers - which during its wandering course affects surrounding inälvsorgan throat, chest cavity and abdominal cavity and that convey sensory input - visceral nature 's - thence to Nucl. solitarius in the medulla . The visceralafferenta wires is 4 - 5 times as many as they visceralefferenta .

Interesting... I guess I'll have to read that again before I can comment.

It might be interesting to look at the associations between problems with 5, 7, and 12 and sleep apnea. Proving a connection between any of these and OSA will be very difficult. In my case, I was diagnosed with trigeminal neuralgia as a teen (50 years or so ago). Does that have any connection with my OSA? Who knows. Also, would it actually result in a cure for the OSA if any one even cared enough to look?

I'm curious how you came to believe it was from bacteria? Was this diagnosed 23 years ago?

Either a schizophrenic or a troll started this thread.

SWO45, this thread was started by someone who is probably desperate to find a reason as to why they have apnea. It would be nice if we could always find a reason as to why we are sick, but sometimes it isn't possible.

Knowing why does not help in finding how to make it better;
but some choose to expend their energy in hopeless causes--rather than meeting and solving the problem directly.
This compulsion is itself a disorder, and the harder of the two to treat.

Hi all, no I'm not schizophrenic or a troll. Nor desperate. I'm curious of me and would love to know how things work . Those of you who commented negatively on this thread does not need to follow the thread more because I will develop my argument more . But other curious can hang on and I will be happy if anybody has any ideas about this, it would be interesting .

I suspect that I was bitten by an insect on a holiday 23 years ago . I got facial paralysis, sudden deafness in one ear , fever, very sick , one hell of a headache , pain in back and neck. Heat and tingling of the face. All this within a few months , following years so come sleep disorders , heart problems, memory problems, altered voice , twitching eye tremor .
A bacterium that is spread by insects could be Lyme disease or Rickettsia helvetica . These fit well into these symptoms. Lyme disease is known to damage to cranial nerves 9 and 10.
It was only last year that I started thinking about and researching these lines.
I have gone on a course of antibiotics for 6 weeks that made my tremor disappeared , I can now drink coffee without holding the coffee cup with both hands.
I have a friend here in Sweden who is diagnosiserad with Borrelia + some other bacteria. Have also diagnosiserad with sleep disorder and has an AHI of 45. He has now gone on Antibiotic for 8 months and his raw AHI has gone down to 2.5
He has been very ill for many years, but now consider themselves to be healthy at 95%.
I myself will soon do another sleep study to see how my AHI looks. 2,5 year ago my AHI was 40

Why do I reply to that ? I'm curious , of course , but mainly it is because of the bacteria continues so I can end up with Alzheimer's or dementia. And I do not want , plus I want to pass on knowledge to my kids about this .
And I suspect also that my wife has the same thing.

So any ideas about this ?

Don't you get AHI's from your own machine+ computer?

Go away...you are full of bullshit. Sleep apnea is not caused by "bacteria."

Get fucking real...

SWO45, it was not a stomach ulcer, either, in the past. The discussion with you is over now.

Julie, yes, but I mean AHI without cpap.

There are so many illnesses that are being associated with bacteria that I don't think anyone should dismiss the idea out of hand. Especially with foul language. However, I think it is highly unlikely that a course of antibacterials will eliminate sleep apnea.

Just my opinion. Happy New Year, everyone!

Just having the idea that anti-biotics would cure sleep apnea indicates a thought disorder or is a sign of psychosis.

Or a simple misunderstanding of what has been heard. A chronic sinus or tonsil infection could contribute to apnea in the short term. Should be identified and treated before a diagnosis of OSA, though.

Sure a chronic sinus or tonsillitis infection could cause OSA. But the way this poster presents it is not like that. They present it like they are self diagnosing themselves and bacteria this, bacteria that and a bunch of weirdo stuff.

Sounds like psychosis or close to it to me, to be honest. Somatacizing in the extreme.
