Grex Recovery Item 29: Sleep disorders
Entered by jaklumen on Thu Nov 27 02:51:06 UTC 2003:

Not as much sanity-threatening, but boy, it bothers me sometimes.

I had my sleep study a while back, and am waiting to return to the lab 
to have the flow adjusted for a C-PAP.  I would really like this to be 
done soon because it was just this week that I woke up one night after 
an apnea with a bad oxygen deprivation headache.

I am tired of suffering through this.

Well, it has been a while, and the titration study (they determined 8 
cms of air pressure was needed) was finished.  It was wonderful to have 
a wonderful night's sleep.  I got my C-PAP the 4th of February and it's 
made a real difference.  I am still playing catch-up with sleep, but it 
is very nice to be able to wake up and not hurt or feel drained.

Congratulations!  Maybe getting back to a relatively healthy state will help
with the weight problem.  My boyfriend was able to have snore-less, deep sleep
nights without the C-pap after he lost sufficient weight.

That would be a really great goal.  Of course, with a lot of energy 
back, exercise is more feasible now.

...and it has been.  Lost about 71 lbs. so far.
