All I ask is that he stay out of this thread.

Mate, you know you're only going to get the party line with that request.

Why don't you just ignore him? Then if he does post here you wont see it anyway?

Have a pretty-good idea why I had the stroke and heart problems.
I have both kinds of apnea.
They filled the entire chart with the neurological hypoxia (sp?, where you stop breathing entirely) so they did not even log how many times I had issues with blockage, the issue with snoring from my deviated septum.
When you stop breathing like that it causes cardio damage and can cause brain damage.
The Dr that was there stated that he got into the field because a stroke and heart attack from apnea killed his father.
I now have to wear a full face mask any time I sleep, clean and care for the machine constantly.
It seems like every time I go to the damn doctor I get another diagnosis like this, some neurological or skeletal bullshit.
I'm to the point now to where I don't even care to know, I just don't want to go any more.

I have an uncle who has to wear the mask. It is a great pain in the ass...

My brother has one. He calls it his Darth Vader mask. He loves it. Since getting the mask, he actually feels refreshed in the morning after sleeping instead of dead tired. He's also got a travel one that he takes with him when he travels.

Mine has a suitcase that came with it. That won't be the pain as much as the distilled water and vinegar that goes with it.
I'm sure I'll eventually get used to it.

Undertoad · 07-20-2007, 03:58 PM

What a relief, though, that the stroke wasn't caused by something worse? Blood pressure spike or heart arrhythmia or something? This sounds solvable, bonus that it's without meds.

07-20-2007, 05:44 PM

I still have to take the meds.
This may or may not be the only cause. I hope it is though. I like to think it.

Sleep Apnea, very common. I see it all the time in very obese people.

A friend of mine opted for surgery to remove his tonsils (and presumably make more space in his airway) instead of living with the mask. Says it was the best thing he's ever done, feels more energetic than he has in his whole life.

AKA UPPP.

Surgery is very dangerous for me, and my issue is not mainly obstructive apnea (and mine is my nose, been broken a few times, had surgery on it once).
Mine is a nervous system issue, I stop breathing in my sleep, hypoxia.
