Do u take anything for it?

Used to do a combo of ambien and lorazapan and it stopped, Trazadone does not work, ect. I inherited my mothers aunts sleep disorder. My sleep apnea dr said ooh i should be sleeping easy with my bi pap, hell no it does not help. My mind does not shut down, when i do sleep i don't hit rem until its way to late.

I haven't hit rem reliably in years. I can't take ambian ...Im one of those people that walk around doing weird things when I take it...including eating without knowing it. That experiment made for some interesting family folklore!

I have insomnia too and rely on Tylenol pm which does occasionally work. My cpap is a pain in the butt now but I think the pressure may be too high I just don't wanna have to go back into the sleep center again and test again until I'm hoping...sleep apnea may just be gone!

I also log on here to see what everyone is up to. My day to day life is usually pretty boring and also I can't really talk to just anyone about this whole process. Nobody really understands this and I love hearing what u guys are experiencing also..sometimes it's great to see I'm not the only one out there going thru some of this stuff. Who else can I talk to about Constipation and shoveling prunes down my throat cause no other lax seems to be working!?!? That's special lol

I was given my bi pap at a skinny stage of my life. I don't wear mine right now because i tend to have air leak into my stomach and cause terrible pain. I talked to the pulmonary people when i had surgery and told them what goes on. But my levels are only very high because I'm a shallow breather. But since I've lost some weight i don't snore like i used to. I just need to find another sleep Dr who will work with my disorder and listen to me about that instead of yelling at me for not wearing my mask.

Since i cant exercise i try to do other things to keep active. Finally got a dryer today, but think ill still hang clothes out. I like the smell. Today my husband brought home 4 big flats of strawberries. He helps his friend mow his acres when he is busy during strawberry season, and we get free berries. I made jam out of most of it and i am beat! To bed early tonight!Tomorrow im gonna start scraping and painting my porches and the wood fence. Want stuff to look nice for daughters graduation party.[/quote']

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
