That is true. I am "fat" right now, but even when I was thin, I still had
severe sleep apnea. I used to weigh half of what I weigh today. I suffer
from...
Linda, the best way to deal with stubborn doctors is to video tape your son while he sleeps. Bring the video to your gp, and have him review it. There is no...
I agree with ya all the way! while at a friends house all nite the friend in the morning had told me " Wendy you sleep so restless at nite and do some terrible...
Wendy, please find another doctor and get him to order a sleep study for you. The very worst thing that could happen is for them to say "hey we don't know...
Virginia, Is there any other way to treat sleep apnea other than a mask? I guess I should have asked the Dr, but I didn't and since you were all talking about...
Sharon, cpap is the gold standard for treatment, there are a few surgeries available, but unless your apnea is mild, they don't work well. Many people with...
Many people's sleep apnea has gotten better from losing weight. That's not to say it "definately" will, but many times that helps. As Virginia said before,...
But its so very hard to lose weight if you don't treat the apnea! There's a chemical thing going on when you sleep, you need good rest to produce the right...
Virginia I will be able to do this in september I think and my sleep thing I think is sleep terrors I think mom use to tell me I would cry out in the middle of...
Yep, life is tough! I read a good idea for coping the other day. When you have a bad day, imagine your life as a situation comedy! Sometimes the things that...

I just read your post I believe ANYONE! that wishes a sleep study esp an epileptic should be granted one! simple as that! there must be a reason for it! As far...
Are you taking a calender and writting down and documenting the time and date of all your sons seizures and even when he is out of breath? and when you are...
I hate feeling this way. I hate feeling invisible. I have people on my messenger list but then yet NO ONE talks to me. I feel alone. I feel like the only...
your not a bother, but sometimes you have to be the one to start the chat. You just can't sit back, sometimes you have to make the first move. In a message...
Don't think you're bothering anyone here. Along with epilepsy, I have
fibromyalgia which gives me chronic pain day in and day out. This makes me
a real...
Craig, sorry to hear about your father. I just lost mine back in November and it still makes me cry. Ya know even those of us who don't have epilepsy but are...
My condolences to you and your family, Craig. Aren't you glad in times like this that you are a Christian? It's nice to have that hope where there used to be a...

You're not bothering me. You are not invisible. If you want someone who won't disappear from you, let me know. I'll warn you, I do like to talk : ) I have...
I want to discuss my auras. Feel free to describe yours too, and if mine sound anything like yours, let me know. Everytime someone asks me to describe my...
Hi Tristin, My auras come on with a sudden sensation of an awareness of something I felt
in the past, or it could be the present awareness rising to a very...
Hey There- Part of what you talk about-the feeling that you are either small or large is called The Alice in Wonderland syndrome. I have porphyria triggered...
Auras are simple partial seizures and can happen with or without the grand mal following. Deja Vu on the other hand happens before the seizure also but like...
Wow, you both are lucky. When I have a partial I can't talk at all (except mumble sounds) for at least 10 minutes. After that it takes a full hour, sometimes...
When you speak of taking that long to recoup after that must be your full partial. An aura is just a mini partial that lasts for seconds or a warning that the...
